[distant sirens]

4
00:00:39,248 --> 00:00:40,582
[man] There's still
so many things

5
00:00:40,749 --> 00:00:42,292
we don't understand
about this case,

6
00:00:42,459 --> 00:00:43,961
and probably never will.

7
00:00:46,338 --> 00:00:47,798
We just had bits and pieces

8
00:00:47,965 --> 00:00:51,093
of some kind
of strange puzzle.

9
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:54,638
And even if we could put them
all together,

10
00:00:54,805 --> 00:00:57,140
I don't know if I want to see
whatever picture they make.

- [producer whispers]
- Yeah.

14
00:01:20,664 --> 00:01:22,165
Uh-huh.

15
00:01:22,332 --> 00:01:23,584
My name is Joseph Kirby.

16
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,878
I'm a former
lead detective sergeant

17
00:01:26,044 --> 00:01:27,588
in San Bernardino County.

18
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:30,132
I was supervising
the Major Crimes Unit

19
00:01:30,299 --> 00:01:33,302
between 2007 and 2015.

20
00:01:34,511 --> 00:01:36,847
San Bernardino County
is about 60 miles east

21
00:01:37,014 --> 00:01:38,098
of Los Angeles.

22
00:01:38,265 --> 00:01:39,433
And is a part of California's

23
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,852
Inland Empire region.

24
00:01:42,019 --> 00:01:44,354
We have a population
of about two million.

25
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:46,273
We've seen
our share of violent crimes,

26
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,649
gang-related homicides,

27
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:49,693
relatively large-scale
drug busts,

28
00:01:49,860 --> 00:01:50,736
what have you.

29
00:01:50,903 --> 00:01:51,904
We probably ran

30
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:56,241
upwards of 65 murders a year

31
00:01:56,408 --> 00:01:59,328
in the San Bernardino County
Sheriff's Homicide Bureau,

32
00:01:59,494 --> 00:02:01,914
which is higher
than the national average.

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,249
But I had never seen
anything like what happened

34
00:02:04,416 --> 00:02:06,835
to the Sheridan family
on Alton Avenue.

35
00:02:07,878 --> 00:02:08,837
Nobody had.

36
00:02:09,004 --> 00:02:10,964
[dial tone]

37
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:13,342
[dispatcher] 911,
what is your emergency?

38
00:02:13,509 --> 00:02:14,551
[female voice]

39
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:23,644
[dispatcher]

40
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:25,479
[female voice] My name...

41
00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:27,773
My name is Kacie Porter,

42
00:02:28,565 --> 00:02:31,902
and I was friends
with Tiffany Sheridan.

43
00:02:32,069 --> 00:02:35,239
Our kids went
to the same elementary school.

44
00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:37,616
[laughs]
When you have kids that age,

45
00:02:37,783 --> 00:02:41,286
and you meet a lot of parents
that you don't always care for,

46
00:02:41,453 --> 00:02:45,249
but Tiff and I,
we just hit it off.

47
00:02:45,749 --> 00:02:48,627
We were supposed to meet
at this restaurant for lunch,

48
00:02:48,794 --> 00:02:51,338
but she never showed,
and I just...

49
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:55,759
I figured she had forgotten,
so I let it go. Um...

50
00:02:55,926 --> 00:02:58,345
But then Lauren came home,
and she said

51
00:02:58,512 --> 00:03:01,390
that Sam hadn't been
to school in a few days.

52
00:03:01,557 --> 00:03:03,267
And, um, I kept calling

53
00:03:03,433 --> 00:03:07,396
and I kept texting,
but I never got a reply back.

54
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:11,817
And I just knew,
in the back of my head,

55
00:03:11,984 --> 00:03:14,194
that something is wrong.

56
00:03:15,946 --> 00:03:17,948
[female voice]

57
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,581
[operator]

58
00:03:25,747 --> 00:03:27,207
I'm Will Martinez.

59
00:03:27,374 --> 00:03:28,625
I'm a deputy sheriff

60
00:03:28,792 --> 00:03:30,878
with the San Bernardino
Sheriff's Department.

61
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:32,588
Me and my partner
were the first officers

62
00:03:32,754 --> 00:03:34,339
to arrive on scene.

63
00:03:34,506 --> 00:03:36,550
We got a call
regarding a welfare check

64
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:39,136
for a residence
in the Shandin Hills.

65
00:03:39,303 --> 00:03:41,138
Nice area. Um...

66
00:03:41,305 --> 00:03:44,391
It was a gated community,
as I remember.

67
00:03:44,558 --> 00:03:51,523
[tense music playing]

68
00:03:57,613 --> 00:03:58,947
The whole thing felt weird.

69
00:04:00,157 --> 00:04:02,242
Something about it
was just off.

70
00:04:02,409 --> 00:04:04,328
[tense music playing]

71
00:04:04,494 --> 00:04:05,704
Police department!

72
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:10,542
Police department!

73
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:11,752
Anybody home?

74
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:14,713
[woman speaking on radio]

75
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,009
- [tense music playing]
- [gate rattles]

76
00:04:19,176 --> 00:04:20,344
[Martinez]
We need to go around.

77
00:04:28,227 --> 00:04:29,394
[doorknob rattles]

78
00:04:29,561 --> 00:04:31,939
Police department! Anyone home?

79
00:04:40,531 --> 00:04:42,533
My partner called out,

80
00:04:42,699 --> 00:04:44,701
identified ourselves again,

81
00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:45,827
but there was no movement.

82
00:04:47,538 --> 00:04:48,539
[Martinez] Hello?

83
00:04:52,334 --> 00:04:53,252
Anybody home?

84
00:04:53,418 --> 00:04:57,422
[tense music playing]

85
00:04:58,632 --> 00:05:00,342
[whispering]
Mother of God.

86
00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:02,761
[tense music playing]

87
00:05:02,928 --> 00:05:04,388
This was a crime scene.

88
00:05:04,555 --> 00:05:11,520
[tense music playing]

89
00:05:15,524 --> 00:05:17,317
[Kacie] Oh,
what happened to them...

90
00:05:19,069 --> 00:05:21,905
I think about it every day.

91
00:05:22,072 --> 00:05:24,157
I have nightmares about it.

92
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:29,997
[tense music playing]

93
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,292
Why them?

94
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:39,882
[tense music playing]

95
00:05:40,048 --> 00:05:42,843
That... was a bad day.

96
00:05:43,010 --> 00:05:49,975
[tense music playing]

97
00:05:57,524 --> 00:06:01,403
When I saw that, I was...

98
00:06:01,570 --> 00:06:03,155
floored.

99
00:06:03,322 --> 00:06:04,990
I looked at my partner
and I said,

100
00:06:05,157 --> 00:06:08,493
"Oh, my God, he's back."

101
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:13,957
[dramatic music playing]

102
00:06:53,830 --> 00:06:55,040
Hi.

103
00:06:55,207 --> 00:06:56,500
My name's Lexi Taylor.

104
00:06:56,667 --> 00:06:58,418
I'm a senior homicide detective

105
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:00,712
for the San Bernardino P.D.

106
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:03,340
I worked as a patrol officer
for about nine years

107
00:07:03,507 --> 00:07:05,759
before being offered
a job in the homicide bureau,

108
00:07:05,926 --> 00:07:08,011
and that's when I started
working with my partner,

109
00:07:08,178 --> 00:07:09,388
Joe Kirby.

110
00:07:09,555 --> 00:07:11,974
Growing up,
my mom worked two jobs

111
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:13,892
to support me
and my older brother.

112
00:07:14,142 --> 00:07:17,187
Saw a rotating door
of less-than-great men,

113
00:07:17,354 --> 00:07:19,106
you would say,
come and go in her life.

114
00:07:19,565 --> 00:07:21,191
I think that's
when I first started

115
00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:22,609
thinking that,
maybe, I would like

116
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:24,319
to try to help people.

117
00:07:24,486 --> 00:07:25,863
You know,
maybe I could help someone

118
00:07:26,029 --> 00:07:29,032
like my mom
out of a tough situation.

119
00:07:29,491 --> 00:07:31,410
I actually never intended
to be a cop.

120
00:07:31,577 --> 00:07:35,205
I had aspirations of being
a drummer in a metal band.

121
00:07:35,372 --> 00:07:37,291
But one of my friend's brothers

122
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:40,210
was in the Academy,
and I thought it sounded cool.

123
00:07:40,377 --> 00:07:42,129
I liked how you had
to think on your feet,

124
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:44,298
use your brain
as well as your body.

125
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:46,925
After a couple of days
in training,

126
00:07:47,092 --> 00:07:49,261
I was hooked, man.

127
00:07:50,679 --> 00:07:54,057
[Taylor] That is
how I have always approached
my career in law enforcement.

128
00:07:54,224 --> 00:07:56,935
Try to be there for people
when things are at their worst.

129
00:07:58,478 --> 00:08:01,106
And, fuck, it was never worse
than on this case.

130
00:08:02,774 --> 00:08:06,069
[Kirby] Between 1993 and 1995,
there were three murders

131
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:08,780
in Riverside
and San Bernardino County

132
00:08:08,947 --> 00:08:12,284
that we eventually
realized were serial murders,

133
00:08:12,451 --> 00:08:16,914
and which had
some ritualistic aspects.

134
00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:25,756
[man] I think this is it.

135
00:08:25,923 --> 00:08:27,799
Yeah.

136
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:30,427
Okay, she was covered
with a blue tarp.

137
00:08:30,594 --> 00:08:32,888
Um, you could see it
easily from the road.

138
00:08:33,055 --> 00:08:35,265
This is a service road,
not a lot of people

139
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:36,975
come down it.

140
00:08:37,142 --> 00:08:39,102
It was just horrible.
I mean, you never expect

141
00:08:39,269 --> 00:08:40,938
to see something like that.

142
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:44,858
[Kirby] On August 8th, 1993,

143
00:08:45,025 --> 00:08:48,403
the torso of 24-year-old
Shifra Gutierrez

144
00:08:48,570 --> 00:08:49,905
is discovered
in San Bernardino

145
00:08:50,072 --> 00:08:51,281
National Forest.

146
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:54,034
She had been dismembered.

147
00:08:55,285 --> 00:08:57,246
Her genitals mutilated.

148
00:08:57,412 --> 00:08:59,998
Uh, the uterus removed.

149
00:09:00,165 --> 00:09:01,708
The coroner gave
a best-guess estimate

150
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:03,210
she'd been there two weeks,

151
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,671
but it's difficult to tell.

152
00:09:08,048 --> 00:09:11,134
[woman]
Shifra was my best friend
in high school. Um...

153
00:09:11,927 --> 00:09:13,136
She was a dope bitch.

154
00:09:13,303 --> 00:09:14,388
[laughs]

155
00:09:14,555 --> 00:09:15,472
Um...

156
00:09:15,806 --> 00:09:17,349
She just had
this joy for living,

157
00:09:17,516 --> 00:09:19,810
and this lust for life,
you know?

158
00:09:20,394 --> 00:09:22,062
And she was funny as fuck.

159
00:09:22,646 --> 00:09:24,439
Um...

160
00:09:24,606 --> 00:09:26,525
She wasn't a bad person.

161
00:09:26,692 --> 00:09:28,986
You know, she just, um...

162
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:30,696
I don't know, she just
got into some bad shit,

163
00:09:30,863 --> 00:09:32,948
like a lot of people
out here do.

164
00:09:33,115 --> 00:09:35,409
I was always telling her,
I was like,

165
00:09:35,576 --> 00:09:36,869
"This is dangerous, Shifra.

166
00:09:37,035 --> 00:09:38,662
You know,
you gotta stop doing this."

167
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:42,040
Oh, shit, I said
I wasn't going to do this.

168
00:09:43,417 --> 00:09:46,295
[Taylor]
There's an area off the 91

169
00:09:46,461 --> 00:09:47,838
in the Casablanca
neighborhood,

170
00:09:48,005 --> 00:09:50,007
and that's where Shifra
was last seen.

171
00:09:50,632 --> 00:09:53,010
We do know she went up
to a room at a motel

172
00:09:53,177 --> 00:09:56,096
called Dean's Corner that was
frequented by sex workers.

173
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:58,473
And there was
a man with her, but...

174
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,517
clerk couldn't remember
what he looked like.

175
00:10:00,684 --> 00:10:02,019
He could've killed her there.

176
00:10:02,186 --> 00:10:04,438
Could've been strangulation,
for example.

177
00:10:04,605 --> 00:10:05,939
We'll probably never know.

178
00:10:06,106 --> 00:10:07,149
What we do know for sure

179
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:08,817
is that she was somehow moved

180
00:10:08,984 --> 00:10:10,736
from that room
without anybody noticing.

181
00:10:11,737 --> 00:10:14,573
Or somebody noticed
and just didn't care.

182
00:10:15,532 --> 00:10:17,034
But we got our first lead.

183
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,828
A name.

184
00:10:19,995 --> 00:10:21,705
All guests
had to fill out a ledger,

185
00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:23,123
and the suspect
had written down

186
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:25,751
the name Albert Shiny.

187
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:28,795
And the case went cold.

188
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:31,089
I don't need to tell you that,
especially at that time,

189
00:10:31,256 --> 00:10:33,467
sex workers
and marginalized people

190
00:10:33,634 --> 00:10:35,052
tended to get
the short end of the stick

191
00:10:35,219 --> 00:10:36,887
in the criminal justice system.

192
00:10:37,054 --> 00:10:39,431
I'm not saying it was right.
I'm just saying it was,

193
00:10:39,598 --> 00:10:41,517
and is the reality.

194
00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:45,896
So, it was written off
as an isolated incident.

195
00:10:47,356 --> 00:10:50,234
But we were wrong.

196
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,986
A grisly crime scene
has police on high alert

197
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:54,571
in Arlanza tonight,

198
00:10:54,738 --> 00:10:56,782
not far from the Riverside
Municipal Airport,

199
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:59,284
where the body of 82-year-old
Ambrose Griffith

200
00:10:59,451 --> 00:11:01,995
was discovered murdered
in his apartment
earlier today.

201
00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:03,956
Mr. Griffith was disabled
and, apparently,

202
00:11:04,122 --> 00:11:06,166
suffered from MDS,
a blood condition

203
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:08,502
that required daily assistance
from a caretaker.

204
00:11:08,669 --> 00:11:10,921
[Kirby] Nine months after
Shifra Gutierrez is killed,

205
00:11:11,088 --> 00:11:12,548
Ambrose Griffith
is found murdered

206
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:14,424
in his assisted
living facility.

207
00:11:14,591 --> 00:11:17,970
On the night of June 3rd, 1994,

208
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:19,930
someone scaled the back side
of his building

209
00:11:20,097 --> 00:11:22,057
and entered his unit
through a sliding glass door

210
00:11:22,224 --> 00:11:24,268
that was apparently
left unlocked.

211
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:28,647
He was bludgeoned
with an oxygen tank
that was in his room,

212
00:11:28,814 --> 00:11:30,691
and then stabbed
more than 30 times

213
00:11:30,858 --> 00:11:32,317
with a box cutter.

214
00:11:32,484 --> 00:11:33,819
That was brutal.

215
00:11:33,986 --> 00:11:35,654
And you gotta understand,
this guy was bedbound.

216
00:11:35,821 --> 00:11:38,740
I mean, he could not walk,
or could barely walk,
on his own.

217
00:11:38,907 --> 00:11:41,410
So, he was totally defenseless
to the attack,

218
00:11:41,577 --> 00:11:43,745
which was
obviously unprovoked.

219
00:11:43,912 --> 00:11:45,998
No one else in the building
heard so much as a peep

220
00:11:46,164 --> 00:11:47,583
from his room.

221
00:11:47,749 --> 00:11:51,795
So, it must've happened fast,
which is...

222
00:11:52,921 --> 00:11:54,298
some comfort, I guess.

223
00:11:55,841 --> 00:11:57,342
One of his eyes
was also removed.

224
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:58,969
[Taylor]
It was a sloppy scene.

225
00:11:59,136 --> 00:12:00,971
A murder committed
by somebody in a frenzy

226
00:12:01,138 --> 00:12:03,098
who was not thinking it
through at all.

227
00:12:03,265 --> 00:12:05,726
It's probably why we were able
to get our first real clue.

228
00:12:07,352 --> 00:12:10,147
[Kirby] The print was run
through the system,
but nothing came back.

229
00:12:10,314 --> 00:12:12,065
The lab guys
stayed on it for weeks,

230
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:13,901
but it was only a partial.

231
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:15,235
No motive.

232
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:16,486
82-year-old victim

233
00:12:16,653 --> 00:12:18,238
with no family and few friends,

234
00:12:18,405 --> 00:12:20,532
except the few people
that lived in his building

235
00:12:20,699 --> 00:12:22,868
who were just
as sick as he was.

236
00:12:23,035 --> 00:12:25,871
So, the police didn't make
any connection
to the Gutierrez murder.

237
00:12:26,038 --> 00:12:27,664
Not yet.

238
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:29,708
- [sobs]
- [man] Come here. Come here.

239
00:12:29,875 --> 00:12:30,834
It's okay. It's okay.

240
00:12:31,001 --> 00:12:32,794
It's okay. It's okay.

241
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:34,171
We want to thank everyone

242
00:12:34,338 --> 00:12:36,590
from the Riverside
Police Department

243
00:12:36,757 --> 00:12:38,091
with their continued support.

244
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,136
Someone out there

245
00:12:41,303 --> 00:12:44,306
knows what happened
to our little boy, and-and...

246
00:12:47,643 --> 00:12:48,936
[voice breaking]
We are begging

247
00:12:49,102 --> 00:12:50,145
for you to help us

248
00:12:50,312 --> 00:12:52,606
return him home

249
00:12:52,773 --> 00:12:54,942
safely and unharmed.

250
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:56,401
[Kirby] Noah Lafone
was abducted

251
00:12:56,568 --> 00:12:57,694
while walking home from school

252
00:12:57,861 --> 00:13:00,697
on October 7th, 1995.

253
00:13:00,864 --> 00:13:02,366
He was 12 years old.

254
00:13:03,325 --> 00:13:04,618
There were no witnesses,

255
00:13:04,785 --> 00:13:07,788
and pretty much
no information to go on.

256
00:13:07,955 --> 00:13:10,374
There was
a pretty extensive search

257
00:13:10,541 --> 00:13:13,210
and media effort this time
to try to find him.

258
00:13:13,377 --> 00:13:15,295
We were doing door-to-doors.

259
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:18,257
This was the first case
I was on involving a child,

260
00:13:18,423 --> 00:13:20,717
so I really threw myself
into it.

261
00:13:21,218 --> 00:13:24,596
I'd get off work and I'd go
join Search and Rescue.

262
00:13:24,763 --> 00:13:26,431
People put
in hundreds of hours,

263
00:13:26,598 --> 00:13:28,517
but days turned into weeks

264
00:13:28,684 --> 00:13:32,396
and it gets harder and harder
to stay positive.

265
00:13:32,563 --> 00:13:34,398
Three months later, in January,

266
00:13:34,565 --> 00:13:36,525
his body is discovered
in a shallow creek

267
00:13:36,692 --> 00:13:38,110
near Silverwood Lake.

268
00:13:42,281 --> 00:13:44,658
He had been weighed down
by concrete bricks,

269
00:13:44,825 --> 00:13:47,035
and his body
was in pretty bad shape.

270
00:13:47,202 --> 00:13:49,580
[tense music playing]

271
00:13:49,746 --> 00:13:52,374
There were
multiple lacerations
to his abdomen,

272
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:54,334
and his liver
had been removed.

273
00:13:55,586 --> 00:13:56,712
Twelve years old.

274
00:13:58,005 --> 00:13:59,214
Whole life ahead of him.

275
00:14:00,632 --> 00:14:01,592
Poof.

276
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:05,179
We also found a box cutter,
the weapon,

277
00:14:05,345 --> 00:14:07,055
as well as Noah's
school backpack

278
00:14:07,222 --> 00:14:09,099
and all its contents.

279
00:14:09,266 --> 00:14:11,768
This is where we got
our second lead.

280
00:14:11,935 --> 00:14:13,562
There was a page
that had been written on

281
00:14:13,729 --> 00:14:15,063
and then torn out,

282
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:17,482
but you could still see
an imprint.

283
00:14:19,401 --> 00:14:20,360
Kaliban.

284
00:14:21,403 --> 00:14:23,322
What the heck was Kaliban?

285
00:14:23,488 --> 00:14:25,657
A bird from the Caribbean,
we found out.

286
00:14:25,824 --> 00:14:27,868
Or a character
from Shakespeare.

287
00:14:28,035 --> 00:14:29,494
I mean, was this
some kind of a code?

288
00:14:29,661 --> 00:14:32,164
Was it
another Zodiac Killer?

289
00:14:32,331 --> 00:14:34,333
About two weeks after
his body was discovered,

290
00:14:34,499 --> 00:14:36,043
the Riverside Police Department

291
00:14:36,210 --> 00:14:38,253
received a letter in the mail.

292
00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:41,006
Provided details
of the three killings.

293
00:14:41,173 --> 00:14:44,218
It was unreleased information
only the police would know,

294
00:14:44,384 --> 00:14:46,303
which basically proves
whoever wrote it

295
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:48,096
was the killer,
or at least someone

296
00:14:48,263 --> 00:14:50,933
who had direct contact
with the killer.

297
00:14:51,099 --> 00:14:52,184
And there was a message.

298
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:57,940
[distorted male voice]
Thanks for not catching me!

299
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,867
Was he telling us he was
planning on killing ten more?

300
00:15:09,034 --> 00:15:10,285
Was that what he meant?

301
00:15:10,452 --> 00:15:11,995
This was the first time
we realized

302
00:15:12,162 --> 00:15:14,248
this was
an actual serial killer.

303
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:17,668
It's worth mentioning
the jurisdictional problems

304
00:15:17,835 --> 00:15:19,503
that can arise when someone
commits a murder

305
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:20,712
across county lines.

306
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:23,173
It can make connecting them

307
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:24,675
a lot more difficult.

308
00:15:24,842 --> 00:15:26,385
But this guy wanted us to know.

309
00:15:26,552 --> 00:15:27,803
He wanted us
to know what he did,

310
00:15:27,970 --> 00:15:30,430
and that he wasn't finished.

311
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:32,558
And he signs the letter
with that symbol.

312
00:15:34,434 --> 00:15:35,477
[Kirby] Years went by.

313
00:15:35,644 --> 00:15:37,729
The cases went cold.

314
00:15:37,896 --> 00:15:39,565
Detectives at that time figured

315
00:15:39,731 --> 00:15:41,984
whoever was responsible
for the three deaths

316
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:44,152
was either incarcerated
for another crime

317
00:15:44,319 --> 00:15:45,904
or had died,

318
00:15:46,071 --> 00:15:47,739
because they probably
wouldn't have stopped killing

319
00:15:47,906 --> 00:15:49,408
on their own.

320
00:15:49,575 --> 00:15:52,661
But as soon as I saw
that symbol on the ceiling,

321
00:15:52,828 --> 00:15:55,247
I realized that was
the killer from '95.

322
00:15:55,414 --> 00:15:57,583
He wasn't bluffing
in his letter.

323
00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:59,376
He hadn't stopped.

324
00:15:59,543 --> 00:16:02,671
He'd just taken
a 15-year break.

325
00:16:02,838 --> 00:16:03,881
Why?

326
00:16:05,174 --> 00:16:07,009
We're still trying
to figure that one out.

327
00:16:07,176 --> 00:16:09,303
One thing's for sure.

328
00:16:09,469 --> 00:16:11,638
If his first murder
spree had felt sloppy

329
00:16:11,805 --> 00:16:13,182
and unplanned,

330
00:16:13,348 --> 00:16:17,519
this new one was anything but.

331
00:16:17,686 --> 00:16:24,610
[dramatic music playing]

332
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,743
[Taylor] The suspect
gained entry

333
00:16:32,910 --> 00:16:34,703
through a first
floor bathroom window,

334
00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:36,872
cut through a screen
on the side of the house,

335
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:40,751
then attacks Ted and Tiffany
sometime after 1:15 a.m.,

336
00:16:40,918 --> 00:16:44,046
after Tiffany sends
her last work email.

337
00:16:44,421 --> 00:16:46,381
There was bruising
on Ted's face.

338
00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:48,175
Struck by a blunt object.

339
00:16:48,342 --> 00:16:50,219
We think the suspect probably
roughed him up

340
00:16:50,385 --> 00:16:51,887
as a form of intimidation,

341
00:16:52,054 --> 00:16:53,555
and convinced him and Tiffany

342
00:16:53,722 --> 00:16:55,182
to go downstairs willingly.

343
00:16:56,058 --> 00:16:59,853
This little girl, Samantha...

344
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:02,356
Yeah, it looks like she put up
more of a fight.

345
00:17:02,523 --> 00:17:03,774
Some of the furniture
in her room,

346
00:17:03,941 --> 00:17:05,234
her comforter,

347
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,402
all disturbed and in disarray.

348
00:17:07,569 --> 00:17:09,905
The suspect zip-ties
their hands and feet,

349
00:17:10,072 --> 00:17:12,366
wraps duct tape
around their mouths.

350
00:17:12,533 --> 00:17:14,117
You see,
this guy had gotten smarter.

351
00:17:14,284 --> 00:17:16,453
He'd learned
from the murders in '95.

352
00:17:16,620 --> 00:17:18,830
Less sloppy, more methodical.

353
00:17:18,997 --> 00:17:20,958
I mean, the buckets?
What the fuck?

354
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:24,002
Pardon my French.

355
00:17:24,336 --> 00:17:25,629
He ties the three of them

356
00:17:25,796 --> 00:17:29,091
to chairs
around the dining room.

357
00:17:29,258 --> 00:17:31,426
Deliberately facing each other,
do you understand?

358
00:17:31,593 --> 00:17:32,845
He places their feet

359
00:17:33,011 --> 00:17:36,014
in these five-gallon
painters buckets.

360
00:17:36,181 --> 00:17:38,058
He prepared these things
ahead of time.

361
00:17:38,225 --> 00:17:39,852
Like,
they had their names on them.

362
00:17:40,018 --> 00:17:40,894
Literally.

363
00:17:41,061 --> 00:17:42,938
Like, "Ted," "Tiffany,"

364
00:17:43,105 --> 00:17:45,190
"Samantha" written out.

365
00:17:45,357 --> 00:17:47,901
He draws three lines

366
00:17:48,068 --> 00:17:51,071
on each of them,
like the kind you'd find
on a measuring cup.

367
00:17:51,822 --> 00:17:53,949
Except this wasn't
for measuring out rice.

368
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,493
It was for their blood.

369
00:17:57,494 --> 00:17:58,453
By volume.

370
00:17:59,788 --> 00:18:00,747
Going.

371
00:18:02,291 --> 00:18:03,250
Going.

372
00:18:05,252 --> 00:18:06,545
Gone.

373
00:18:06,712 --> 00:18:09,923
The suspect used a box cutter

374
00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:13,051
to make a small,
six-centimeter incision

375
00:18:13,218 --> 00:18:15,762
through the skin
on each victim.

376
00:18:17,389 --> 00:18:19,641
And the result
was fatal blood loss.

377
00:18:19,808 --> 00:18:22,102
There's about a gallon
and a half of blood

378
00:18:22,269 --> 00:18:23,604
in the human body.

379
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:26,064
It takes maybe 15 minutes
for that to drain out,

380
00:18:26,231 --> 00:18:29,234
but you can be dead
in as soon as three.

381
00:18:29,693 --> 00:18:31,820
The femoral artery
is at your groin,

382
00:18:31,987 --> 00:18:33,780
basically the top
of your thigh.

383
00:18:33,947 --> 00:18:35,657
If you're sitting upright,

384
00:18:35,824 --> 00:18:38,243
gravity just kind
of does its thing.

385
00:18:38,410 --> 00:18:41,121
The technical term
for this is exsanguination.

386
00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:43,874
[Kirby] Part of what really
earns that term,

387
00:18:44,041 --> 00:18:45,375
"ritualistic,"

388
00:18:45,542 --> 00:18:49,421
in my opinion,
is anything done post-mortem.

389
00:18:49,588 --> 00:18:51,632
So, you know, normal homicide,

390
00:18:51,798 --> 00:18:53,884
you stab a person,
shoot a person,

391
00:18:54,051 --> 00:18:55,511
you get the heck out of there.

392
00:18:55,677 --> 00:18:57,137
You don't stick around.
Every second you wait

393
00:18:57,304 --> 00:18:59,598
is another second
to get caught.

394
00:18:59,765 --> 00:19:01,725
From what we can put together,

395
00:19:01,892 --> 00:19:05,687
our suspect hung around
another two hours at least.

396
00:19:06,647 --> 00:19:08,690
He leaves the house,

397
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:11,276
comes back
with a 24-foot extension ladder

398
00:19:11,443 --> 00:19:13,195
that he gets from his vehicle,

399
00:19:13,362 --> 00:19:16,657
and then he goes to work
painting this thing
on the ceiling.

400
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:18,575
And it's not a small room,

401
00:19:18,742 --> 00:19:21,036
and he goes
almost wall to wall.

402
00:19:21,203 --> 00:19:23,288
It's almost 20 feet.

403
00:19:23,455 --> 00:19:25,040
And he does a good job.

404
00:19:25,207 --> 00:19:26,416
He's careful,

405
00:19:26,583 --> 00:19:27,668
does a couple of layers,

406
00:19:27,835 --> 00:19:30,087
almost no drips on the floor.

407
00:19:30,254 --> 00:19:31,964
Then he positions the bodies.

408
00:19:32,130 --> 00:19:33,507
And all this

409
00:19:33,924 --> 00:19:36,009
he does without any neighbors

410
00:19:36,176 --> 00:19:39,263
hearing a sound
or seeing a thing.

411
00:19:39,429 --> 00:19:42,266
No fingerprints,
no DNA left at the scene.

412
00:19:43,517 --> 00:19:44,560
No motive.

413
00:19:44,726 --> 00:19:46,603
No relation to the victims.

414
00:19:46,770 --> 00:19:49,773
Three days later,
another letter arrives
in the mail.

415
00:19:52,818 --> 00:19:53,986
[distorted male voice]
Hope you blue baddies

416
00:20:01,118 --> 00:20:03,537
[reporter] A gruesome discovery
was made just this morning

417
00:20:03,704 --> 00:20:06,039
by a jogger
of a human head here,

418
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:07,583
in Perris Hill Park.

419
00:20:07,749 --> 00:20:09,459
The jogger, Chelsea Lunsford,

420
00:20:09,626 --> 00:20:12,087
has been coming here
every weekday morning
for two years.

421
00:20:12,254 --> 00:20:13,964
She enjoys the serenity
of the landscape,

422
00:20:14,131 --> 00:20:16,466
and was not prepared
for what she would find.

423
00:20:16,633 --> 00:20:18,844
My friend was just telling me
how I should bring a mace

424
00:20:19,011 --> 00:20:20,470
or a stun gun
or something with me

425
00:20:20,637 --> 00:20:23,056
when I go running, and, um...

426
00:20:23,223 --> 00:20:24,391
Yeah, I guess she was right.

427
00:20:36,111 --> 00:20:37,654
[Taylor] On the night
of November 8th,

428
00:20:37,821 --> 00:20:39,948
the suspect entered the home
of the two victims,

429
00:20:40,115 --> 00:20:42,951
Tamara Latour
and her boyfriend,
Glen Sandweiss,

430
00:20:43,118 --> 00:20:45,996
through a dog door
in the back of the house.

431
00:20:46,163 --> 00:20:47,915
They were watching TV
in the living room.

432
00:20:48,081 --> 00:20:50,501
The volume was up,
which allowed him to sneak up

433
00:20:50,667 --> 00:20:53,212
on them undetected
until the last minute.

434
00:20:53,921 --> 00:20:56,507
According to Mr. Sandweiss,
he attacks Tamara first,

435
00:20:56,673 --> 00:20:59,801
uses a stun gun
to incapacitate her.

436
00:20:59,968 --> 00:21:03,305
We think the suspect
was not expecting Sandweiss
to be home.

437
00:21:03,472 --> 00:21:06,475
Sandweiss says
that he seems confused.

438
00:21:06,934 --> 00:21:08,810
There's a brief struggle
before Sandweiss

439
00:21:08,977 --> 00:21:10,437
is overpowered by the suspect,

440
00:21:10,604 --> 00:21:12,105
brought to the floor.

441
00:21:12,272 --> 00:21:14,691
That's when the attack
with the propane torch begins.

442
00:21:15,776 --> 00:21:18,362
He literally burns
this guy's face off.

443
00:21:20,614 --> 00:21:21,990
Is there anything else
you can remember

444
00:21:22,157 --> 00:21:24,535
that would help us
catch who did this?

445
00:21:24,701 --> 00:21:25,911
[Glen]

446
00:21:26,078 --> 00:21:29,957
[Taylor]

447
00:21:30,123 --> 00:21:32,251
[Glen and Taylor]

448
00:21:32,417 --> 00:21:33,502
[Glen sighs]

449
00:21:33,669 --> 00:21:35,462
[Glen]

450
00:21:43,971 --> 00:21:46,139
[dramatic music playing]

451
00:21:46,306 --> 00:21:49,268
[Glen] I've no fucking idea.
Jesus Christ...

452
00:21:49,434 --> 00:21:51,645
What the fuck is happening?

453
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:54,189
Oh, God,
what am I going to do?

454
00:21:57,734 --> 00:22:00,028
[clicks lighter]

455
00:22:00,195 --> 00:22:01,530
What do you want to know?

456
00:22:02,573 --> 00:22:04,199
The fuck you think I haven't?

457
00:22:06,910 --> 00:22:08,120
You really think
I was going to be able

458
00:22:08,287 --> 00:22:10,038
to be a teacher
looking like this?

459
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,251
Standing up in front
of a group of fifth-graders?

460
00:22:15,836 --> 00:22:17,171
They'd be terrified.

461
00:22:17,337 --> 00:22:18,839
[yells]

462
00:22:19,006 --> 00:22:20,674
[producer]

463
00:22:20,841 --> 00:22:21,884
Doing what?

464
00:22:23,552 --> 00:22:24,970
Telling my story?

465
00:22:26,263 --> 00:22:27,723
Huh?

466
00:22:27,890 --> 00:22:30,642
Trying to be inspirational?

467
00:22:30,893 --> 00:22:32,311
I can't work.

468
00:22:33,937 --> 00:22:35,939
Got no friends.

469
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:39,860
Nerve damage.

470
00:22:40,027 --> 00:22:42,696
Feels like my face
is on fire all the time.

471
00:22:44,698 --> 00:22:46,200
I'm already dead, man.

472
00:22:47,576 --> 00:22:49,036
I'm just not in the ground...

473
00:22:50,537 --> 00:22:51,955
like Tamara is.

474
00:22:53,874 --> 00:22:54,833
Fuck!

475
00:22:56,460 --> 00:22:58,921
You... You got what you need.
I'm fucking done.

476
00:22:59,796 --> 00:23:01,757
Give me my money
and get the fuck
out of my house.

477
00:23:04,051 --> 00:23:06,345
[Kirby] Tamara's head,
the sculpture,

478
00:23:06,512 --> 00:23:07,930
the weird trinkets
on the ground,

479
00:23:08,096 --> 00:23:10,140
all of it was
carefully examined.

480
00:23:10,307 --> 00:23:12,559
And, once again,
no fingerprints,

481
00:23:12,726 --> 00:23:13,852
no DNA left behind.

482
00:23:14,019 --> 00:23:15,145
We had nothing.

483
00:23:16,271 --> 00:23:17,981
Until we got lucky.

484
00:23:18,148 --> 00:23:19,608
A woman who works
at the strip mall

485
00:23:19,775 --> 00:23:22,819
down the street from the park
said she had seen a guy

486
00:23:22,986 --> 00:23:25,280
with a truck
unloading several garbage bags

487
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:28,075
into a dumpster
the morning of the murder.

488
00:23:28,242 --> 00:23:30,869
White truck,
red lettering, she said.

489
00:23:31,036 --> 00:23:33,455
So, we pulled footage
from a Credit Union's ATM

490
00:23:33,622 --> 00:23:35,457
at the strip mall and...

491
00:23:35,624 --> 00:23:37,292
It wasn't a great angle,

492
00:23:37,668 --> 00:23:39,127
but it did catch something.

493
00:23:41,004 --> 00:23:43,340
[tense music playing]

494
00:23:43,507 --> 00:23:45,509
[Taylor] The owner
of the white truck,
Victor Shamaz,

495
00:23:45,676 --> 00:23:47,886
was a 45-year-old man
living in Riverside

496
00:23:48,053 --> 00:23:50,055
who had a small house
painting business.

497
00:23:50,222 --> 00:23:52,683
He had a rap sheet.
It was relatively clean.

498
00:23:52,850 --> 00:23:54,810
Few minor narcotics citations,

499
00:23:54,977 --> 00:23:57,688
a B&E from a decade earlier.

500
00:23:57,855 --> 00:24:00,315
But he had a restraining order
taken out against him recently

501
00:24:00,482 --> 00:24:03,443
for apparently stalking
a woman he met online.

502
00:24:03,861 --> 00:24:05,654
That didn't sit well with us.

503
00:24:05,821 --> 00:24:08,782
We called him
in for questioning
and he agreed.

504
00:24:09,366 --> 00:24:10,784
[Taylor] Mr. Shamaz,

505
00:24:10,951 --> 00:24:12,286
thank you for meeting
with us today.

506
00:24:12,452 --> 00:24:13,787
Yeah. It's...

507
00:24:13,954 --> 00:24:15,664
Yeah. Just, you know,
wanted to help.

508
00:24:23,088 --> 00:24:24,298
Yeah, yeah.

509
00:24:27,467 --> 00:24:29,261
[Kirby]

510
00:24:36,768 --> 00:24:38,103
[Taylor] So, just to be clear,

511
00:24:44,109 --> 00:24:46,153
[Taylor]

512
00:24:50,782 --> 00:24:52,701
[Kirby] Shamaz continues
to claim he has no knowledge

513
00:24:52,868 --> 00:24:55,704
of any crimes,
that he simply didn't notice

514
00:24:55,871 --> 00:24:57,664
his work truck was stolen.

515
00:24:57,831 --> 00:24:59,333
We asked him
if he'd be willing to take

516
00:24:59,499 --> 00:25:02,336
a polygraph test,
to which he agrees.

517
00:25:02,503 --> 00:25:04,630
- [examiner] Is your name
Victor Shamaz?
- Yes.

518
00:25:04,796 --> 00:25:07,508
[Taylor] He bombs
the polygraph test
about as badly as you can.

519
00:25:07,674 --> 00:25:09,051
Chose to be evasive,

520
00:25:09,218 --> 00:25:12,179
or lying about nearly
every question asked.

521
00:25:12,346 --> 00:25:13,889
In fact,
the only question he actually

522
00:25:14,056 --> 00:25:16,850
appears to tell the truth
on are his name and address.

523
00:25:17,017 --> 00:25:19,770
Of course, polygraph tests
aren't always accurate,

524
00:25:19,937 --> 00:25:22,689
and they're
not admissible in court.

525
00:25:22,856 --> 00:25:24,399
It's just a useful tool.

526
00:25:24,566 --> 00:25:27,861
But it was pretty obvious
Shamaz was lying.

527
00:25:28,028 --> 00:25:29,279
[camera shutter clicks]

528
00:25:29,446 --> 00:25:31,323
So, Shamaz manages
to get himself arrested

529
00:25:31,490 --> 00:25:32,741
after it's discovered
he's carrying

530
00:25:32,908 --> 00:25:34,701
a fairly large amount
of methamphetamine

531
00:25:34,868 --> 00:25:36,286
and an unregistered handgun.

532
00:25:36,578 --> 00:25:38,664
Looks like Shamaz
was trying to skip town.

533
00:25:38,956 --> 00:25:42,459
I, uh, just wanted to come
and clear the air, you know?

534
00:25:54,471 --> 00:25:56,431
I was at this Quick-N-Go...

535
00:26:15,409 --> 00:26:16,326
[Kirby] Okay, slow down.

536
00:26:16,493 --> 00:26:17,369
It became evident

537
00:26:17,536 --> 00:26:18,954
Shamaz wasn't our guy.

538
00:26:19,121 --> 00:26:21,957
I mean, he was a scumbag,
but he wasn't our scumbag

539
00:26:22,124 --> 00:26:24,459
and he didn't really
know anything.

540
00:26:24,626 --> 00:26:27,129
Although he did give us
one new piece of information.

541
00:26:27,462 --> 00:26:30,632
[Taylor]

542
00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:32,050
No, I... Yeah, I saw him.

543
00:26:32,217 --> 00:26:33,844
I should've mentioned
that, but...

544
00:26:35,637 --> 00:26:36,763
You know?

545
00:26:39,224 --> 00:26:43,812
[tense music playing]

546
00:26:43,979 --> 00:26:46,106
[Taylor] He started
wearing a mask.

547
00:26:46,273 --> 00:26:48,025
That meant only one thing.

548
00:26:48,192 --> 00:26:51,612
He'd seen us on the news
and knew we were
actively pursuing him.

549
00:26:51,904 --> 00:26:55,157
Oh, he wanted to make that loud
and clear in his next letter.

550
00:26:57,492 --> 00:26:59,536
[distorted male voice]

551
00:27:12,216 --> 00:27:14,593
[Taylor] A few months go by,
nothing new happens.

552
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,762
And of course,
a part of me is thinking,

553
00:27:16,929 --> 00:27:18,680
hoping, maybe that's it.

554
00:27:18,847 --> 00:27:21,600
Maybe it's already over
and this guy's finished.

555
00:27:22,142 --> 00:27:25,395
Yeah, but another part of me,
the cynical part,

556
00:27:25,562 --> 00:27:27,564
knows that can't be true.

557
00:27:27,731 --> 00:27:29,566
He'll let us know
when he's finished.

558
00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,613
It's about 6:00 in the morning
and I get a call from Joe.

559
00:27:34,780 --> 00:27:36,907
They found another body.

560
00:27:37,074 --> 00:27:38,867
Earlier this morning,
a horrific discovery

561
00:27:39,034 --> 00:27:40,536
was reported to police here,

562
00:27:40,702 --> 00:27:42,913
at the North Riverside
Aquatic Center.

563
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,665
This was a bad one.

564
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:47,918
A group of skate kids broke
into the building

565
00:27:48,085 --> 00:27:50,087
to check the place out
and smoke weed.

566
00:27:50,254 --> 00:27:51,964
You know, just a couple
of dumb teenagers.

567
00:27:55,801 --> 00:27:57,970
They're not going to be doing
that again anytime soon.

568
00:27:59,012 --> 00:28:01,390
- [tense music playing]
- [Taylor speaking indistinctly]

569
00:28:01,557 --> 00:28:04,560
When you first saw the body,
it looked like...

570
00:28:04,726 --> 00:28:07,354
like it was covered
in mud or slime or something,

571
00:28:07,521 --> 00:28:09,606
'cause it was so shiny.

572
00:28:12,025 --> 00:28:13,944
[Taylor] Coroner's official
cause of death?

573
00:28:15,404 --> 00:28:17,698
Fatal loss of blood
by leeches.

574
00:28:17,865 --> 00:28:19,950
[tense music playing]

575
00:28:20,117 --> 00:28:21,910
[Kirby] Victim's name
was Dennis Zao,

576
00:28:22,077 --> 00:28:24,872
a 43-year-old
Chinese immigrant
living in Riverside.

577
00:28:25,038 --> 00:28:27,207
He was last seen leaving
an apartment he shared

578
00:28:27,374 --> 00:28:29,668
with several other people
to catch a bus

579
00:28:29,835 --> 00:28:31,253
and was never seen again.

580
00:28:31,420 --> 00:28:33,088
Body's found four days later,

581
00:28:33,255 --> 00:28:35,299
and he had only been deceased
less than a day.

582
00:28:37,176 --> 00:28:39,428
[Taylor] Our suspect
had been breeding them, right?

583
00:28:40,345 --> 00:28:43,223
This particular type of leech
takes about three weeks

584
00:28:43,390 --> 00:28:45,809
for the eggs
to form and hatch,

585
00:28:45,976 --> 00:28:48,395
then another two weeks
to reach maturity.

586
00:28:49,438 --> 00:28:52,399
So, he'd been preparing
this thing for over a month.

587
00:28:52,566 --> 00:28:54,693
Coming here, day after day,

588
00:28:54,860 --> 00:28:57,446
checking in on his babies,
feeding them,

589
00:28:57,613 --> 00:29:00,657
keeping their water clean,
checking the pH.

590
00:29:01,909 --> 00:29:03,619
He might be a monster,

591
00:29:03,785 --> 00:29:06,246
but he does have some kind
of paternal instinct.

592
00:29:07,456 --> 00:29:09,875
Then he abducts Dennis Zao
and brings him here,

593
00:29:10,667 --> 00:29:13,337
strips him naked,
puts him in the water.

594
00:29:13,504 --> 00:29:15,297
He creates this barrier

595
00:29:15,464 --> 00:29:17,966
around the deep end
and all along the edges

596
00:29:18,133 --> 00:29:20,886
so he can't get out
no matter how hard he tries.

597
00:29:21,053 --> 00:29:23,639
Then he begins releasing
these things into the pool.

598
00:29:24,723 --> 00:29:27,476
[man] The species
found in the pool with Mr. Zao

599
00:29:28,393 --> 00:29:30,604
is called H. stagnalis.

600
00:29:30,771 --> 00:29:32,564
In the case of H. Stagnalis,

601
00:29:32,731 --> 00:29:36,193
it has this sucker
on the front of its body
that it uses

602
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,195
to attach to the host.

603
00:29:39,696 --> 00:29:41,281
They have three small jaws

604
00:29:41,448 --> 00:29:43,283
that create
a Y-shaped incision.

605
00:29:43,450 --> 00:29:45,827
It's how they get
the tasty paydirt.

606
00:29:45,994 --> 00:29:50,374
[dramatic music playing]

607
00:29:50,541 --> 00:29:52,543
Leeches will consume up
to ten times

608
00:29:52,709 --> 00:29:54,461
their own body weight
in blood,

609
00:29:54,628 --> 00:29:57,673
which sounds like a lot
but it's really...

610
00:29:58,006 --> 00:29:59,675
It's like two teaspoons.

611
00:29:59,842 --> 00:30:01,885
[Kirby]
This bloodletting-by-leeches

612
00:30:02,052 --> 00:30:04,930
process went on for nearly
three straight days.

613
00:30:05,389 --> 00:30:07,683
The suspect
just methodically keeps

614
00:30:08,141 --> 00:30:10,811
fishing out full leeches,
adding more empties,

615
00:30:10,978 --> 00:30:13,188
on and on...
as Dennis Zao becomes

616
00:30:13,355 --> 00:30:16,024
more and more incapacitated.

617
00:30:16,567 --> 00:30:18,986
I've always been lousy
at math, but, basically,

618
00:30:19,152 --> 00:30:21,613
it took a shit load of leeches
to kill Dennis Zao.

619
00:30:22,614 --> 00:30:23,991
Eventually, after he was naked

620
00:30:24,157 --> 00:30:25,492
in this filthy,
leech-filled water,

621
00:30:25,659 --> 00:30:27,536
he finally succumbed
to his injuries.

622
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:30,289
Oh, and the reason no one
ever hears screaming

623
00:30:30,455 --> 00:30:31,582
from the building?

624
00:30:32,666 --> 00:30:34,626
Zao's tongue was cut out.

625
00:30:34,793 --> 00:30:36,670
[Kirby] A leech bite

626
00:30:36,837 --> 00:30:39,631
looks a little like
the symbol, doesn't it?

627
00:30:39,798 --> 00:30:41,842
See how it's
sort of a triangle?

628
00:30:43,010 --> 00:30:45,554
But like most clues,
this just led
to more questions.

629
00:30:45,721 --> 00:30:48,098
What do these dots mean?

630
00:30:48,265 --> 00:30:49,725
What the hell am I looking at?

631
00:30:49,892 --> 00:30:51,727
We later figured out
that the suspect

632
00:30:51,894 --> 00:30:53,645
first got in contact
with Mr. Zao

633
00:30:53,812 --> 00:30:56,356
because of a Craigslist ad
he posted.

634
00:30:56,523 --> 00:30:58,275
They had exchanged
a few messages

635
00:30:58,442 --> 00:30:59,818
and then arranged
to meet up for sex

636
00:30:59,985 --> 00:31:01,904
at a motel down the street
from the pool.

637
00:31:02,237 --> 00:31:04,615
This finally led
to the big break in the case.

638
00:31:04,781 --> 00:31:07,201
Our technicians were able
to identify the IP address

639
00:31:07,367 --> 00:31:10,120
where the Craigslist ad
was originally posted.

640
00:31:10,287 --> 00:31:12,873
The ad and subsequent
back-and-forth messaging

641
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,333
had been made
from a coffee shop

642
00:31:14,499 --> 00:31:17,169
in Mission Grove
on February 11th.

643
00:31:17,336 --> 00:31:18,962
This was a huge lead.

644
00:31:19,129 --> 00:31:21,131
We finally were able
to trace the suspect's

645
00:31:21,298 --> 00:31:23,509
whereabout
outside of a crime scene.

646
00:31:23,675 --> 00:31:25,928
I mean, I gotta admit,
I was really starting to think

647
00:31:26,094 --> 00:31:29,097
we were chasing a ghost
or a vampire or something.

648
00:31:29,431 --> 00:31:32,309
We did surveillance
on the place for about a week.

649
00:31:32,476 --> 00:31:33,727
The last thing we wanted to do

650
00:31:33,894 --> 00:31:35,270
was draw any attention
to ourselves.

651
00:31:35,437 --> 00:31:37,648
If this guy was a regular,
for example,

652
00:31:37,814 --> 00:31:39,483
and came in all the time...

653
00:31:39,650 --> 00:31:41,527
I mean, we were always
hoping and praying

654
00:31:41,693 --> 00:31:43,487
maybe he swings by
for a cup of coffee

655
00:31:43,654 --> 00:31:45,072
or place another ad,

656
00:31:45,239 --> 00:31:47,157
and just like that,
we'd have him.

657
00:31:48,367 --> 00:31:49,451
No such luck.

658
00:31:49,868 --> 00:31:52,663
There were three employees
working that day.

659
00:31:52,829 --> 00:31:54,665
None of them
could remember the suspect.

660
00:31:54,831 --> 00:31:56,124
It's a popular place,

661
00:31:56,291 --> 00:31:58,085
so he may have picked it
for that reason.

662
00:31:58,252 --> 00:32:00,546
No surveillance system,
no cameras anywhere at all.

663
00:32:01,380 --> 00:32:04,132
But the area does have
a large homeless population.

664
00:32:05,968 --> 00:32:08,095
[Kirby] Hey. Excuse me, sir.

665
00:32:08,262 --> 00:32:09,763
You mind if I talk to you
for a sec?

666
00:32:09,930 --> 00:32:11,431
That's...

667
00:32:11,598 --> 00:32:14,101
You're talking about the one
near Andulka Park?

668
00:32:14,268 --> 00:32:16,562
Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

669
00:32:16,728 --> 00:32:19,064
I'm just sitting there, right?

670
00:32:19,231 --> 00:32:20,691
And he...

671
00:32:20,858 --> 00:32:22,317
He comes up to me and...

672
00:32:23,443 --> 00:32:24,736
I knew what he wanted.

673
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:27,364
"I want to hire you
as day labor."

674
00:32:27,531 --> 00:32:29,199
[Kirby] Did he say
what kind of labor?

675
00:32:29,366 --> 00:32:31,869
Uh... landscaping.

676
00:32:32,035 --> 00:32:33,787
Working on a house
or something.

677
00:32:33,954 --> 00:32:35,497
[Kirby] And you get in his car?

678
00:32:35,664 --> 00:32:37,666
- Yep.
- [Kirby] What kind of car?

679
00:32:38,125 --> 00:32:39,209
Like a...

680
00:32:40,294 --> 00:32:41,587
sedan or something.

681
00:32:41,753 --> 00:32:44,464
Like a, like a blue Camry.

682
00:32:44,631 --> 00:32:46,300
[Kirby] When I started
talking to this guy,

683
00:32:46,466 --> 00:32:48,760
my jaw was on the floor, man.

684
00:32:49,887 --> 00:32:52,514
I mean, if he was telling
the truth, this was huge.

685
00:32:52,681 --> 00:32:54,433
We even had
a vehicle description.

686
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,684
But it gets even better.

687
00:32:55,851 --> 00:32:57,352
Mr. Johnson tells us

688
00:32:57,519 --> 00:32:59,646
he knows
where the suspect's house is.

689
00:32:59,813 --> 00:33:02,524
Apparently, the suspect
had driven him to it.

690
00:33:02,691 --> 00:33:05,444
Okay, see that [inaudible]?

691
00:33:05,611 --> 00:33:08,322
It wants you to go left,
but you're going
to go straight.

692
00:33:08,488 --> 00:33:10,073
[Taylor] He didn't know
the street address,

693
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,617
but he says
he thinks he can remember

694
00:33:11,783 --> 00:33:13,243
how to get there by memory.

695
00:33:13,535 --> 00:33:16,413
Apparently, he'd been driven
to a residence in Highgrove,

696
00:33:16,580 --> 00:33:18,498
where the suspect says
he needs to grab

697
00:33:18,665 --> 00:33:22,002
some tools before they went
to the so-called "job site."

698
00:33:24,588 --> 00:33:27,299
[Kirby] And that's
what brought us
to 144 Artesian Avenue.

699
00:33:27,633 --> 00:33:29,551
After picking up a duffel bag,

700
00:33:29,718 --> 00:33:32,471
they get
on the 215 headed north.

701
00:33:32,638 --> 00:33:35,474
Mr. Johnson says
the guy seems normal, friendly.

702
00:33:35,641 --> 00:33:37,226
I mean, even conversational.

703
00:33:37,643 --> 00:33:39,561
And that brings us
to the bracelet.

704
00:33:39,728 --> 00:33:41,480
Johnson says he found
this bracelet

705
00:33:41,647 --> 00:33:43,524
in a trash container
a few years ago.

706
00:33:43,690 --> 00:33:47,152
Says he just likes to wear it,
thinks it's cool.

707
00:33:47,319 --> 00:33:49,404
Apparently,
the suspect asks him about it,

708
00:33:49,571 --> 00:33:50,656
starts grilling him.

709
00:33:50,822 --> 00:33:51,823
"How long
have you been a diabetic?

710
00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:54,034
Do you take insulin?" etc.

711
00:33:54,201 --> 00:33:56,328
Johnson tells him
the bracelet's not his.

712
00:33:57,412 --> 00:34:01,166
And then the suspect
gets very visibly angry,

713
00:34:01,333 --> 00:34:03,544
pulls off the highway,
tells him to get out,

714
00:34:03,710 --> 00:34:06,296
drives off, and that's that.

715
00:34:06,463 --> 00:34:07,881
Johnson never sees him again.

716
00:34:09,675 --> 00:34:11,593
He's incredibly lucky.

717
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,679
I believe if that bracelet
had been real,

718
00:34:13,846 --> 00:34:15,389
if Johnson had fit
whatever criteria

719
00:34:15,556 --> 00:34:17,724
our suspect was looking for,

720
00:34:17,891 --> 00:34:19,893
he would most definitely
be dead right now.

721
00:34:20,060 --> 00:34:22,479
[Taylor] After learning
all this we go to the house.

722
00:34:22,646 --> 00:34:25,732
Just a normal house.
We knock.

723
00:34:25,899 --> 00:34:27,484
Nobody's home.

724
00:34:27,651 --> 00:34:30,863
But we can't just kick
the door in
without probable cause.

725
00:34:31,029 --> 00:34:33,532
I mean, all we've got
is the word of
an unemployed drifter

726
00:34:33,699 --> 00:34:35,409
with a minor criminal record

727
00:34:35,576 --> 00:34:38,662
who we also paid
for the information he gave us.

728
00:34:38,829 --> 00:34:40,247
It's not going
to get us a warrant.

729
00:34:41,957 --> 00:34:44,168
And that's when I see it
above the door,

730
00:34:44,334 --> 00:34:46,628
staring us in the face.

731
00:34:47,129 --> 00:34:50,716
[Kirby] We kept
most of the evidence we had,
which wasn't much,

732
00:34:50,883 --> 00:34:53,927
pretty close to the chest
as far as the media
was concerned.

733
00:34:54,094 --> 00:34:55,762
That symbol, the image,

734
00:34:55,929 --> 00:34:57,973
was never released
to the public.

735
00:34:58,140 --> 00:35:01,101
So, nobody could know about it
unless they were involved
in one of the crimes.

736
00:35:02,269 --> 00:35:03,729
That was enough.

737
00:35:03,896 --> 00:35:05,355
We called in the cavalry.

738
00:35:05,522 --> 00:35:12,321
[tense music playing]

739
00:35:19,578 --> 00:35:20,579
[officer] Big windows on left.

740
00:35:23,957 --> 00:35:25,250
Alright.

741
00:35:25,667 --> 00:35:31,131
[tense music playing]

742
00:35:31,298 --> 00:35:33,342
All clear!

743
00:35:33,509 --> 00:35:34,593
[Kirby] I don't know
what I was expecting

744
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,261
to find in there.

745
00:35:36,428 --> 00:35:38,472
Torture dungeon,
haunted house,

746
00:35:38,639 --> 00:35:40,265
something from a horror movie.

747
00:35:41,558 --> 00:35:43,352
But it wasn't like that at all.

748
00:35:43,519 --> 00:35:45,521
It was... banal.

749
00:35:45,687 --> 00:35:47,022
Mundane.

750
00:35:47,189 --> 00:35:48,815
That doesn't mean
it wasn't a little weird.

751
00:35:48,982 --> 00:35:55,656
[tense music playing]

752
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,381
But weird doesn't necessarily
make you guilty.

753
00:36:12,548 --> 00:36:15,133
There was no evidence
the person that lived there
was involved in anything,

754
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:17,344
other than the symbol
over the doorway,

755
00:36:17,511 --> 00:36:19,388
and that was
purely circumstantial.

756
00:36:21,056 --> 00:36:23,016
[Kirby] Look at this.

757
00:36:23,183 --> 00:36:24,935
That's just lovely, isn't it?

758
00:36:25,102 --> 00:36:27,855
The property owner
was an older woman
who lived in San Diego

759
00:36:28,021 --> 00:36:30,148
who said she'd been renting
the house to...

760
00:36:30,774 --> 00:36:32,734
You guessed it,
someone who called themselves

761
00:36:32,901 --> 00:36:34,695
Albert Shiny.

762
00:36:34,862 --> 00:36:36,488
Apparently, Mr. Shiny
was willing to pay

763
00:36:36,655 --> 00:36:37,948
for a year upfront in cash,

764
00:36:38,115 --> 00:36:40,158
so she didn't ask
too many questions

765
00:36:40,325 --> 00:36:42,703
and had only met him twice.

766
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:45,080
So, we start
dusting for fingerprints

767
00:36:45,247 --> 00:36:48,125
but we can't find any,
literally. Not one print.

768
00:36:48,292 --> 00:36:50,544
Which makes no sense
for the inside
of someone's house.

769
00:36:50,711 --> 00:36:52,880
There should be
thousands of them.

770
00:36:53,046 --> 00:36:54,298
I mean,
was this guy wearing gloves

771
00:36:54,464 --> 00:36:57,050
every second of every day?

772
00:36:57,217 --> 00:36:59,094
[Kirby] Finally,
we found some fingerprints

773
00:36:59,261 --> 00:37:01,722
on a telescope that was
outside, on the deck.

774
00:37:01,889 --> 00:37:03,140
We immediately
got them out to the lab

775
00:37:03,307 --> 00:37:05,350
and ran through the computer.

776
00:37:05,517 --> 00:37:08,979
And boom, we got a hit.

777
00:37:09,146 --> 00:37:11,565
The print matched the partial
that was found in '95

778
00:37:11,732 --> 00:37:13,066
from the Noah Lafone murder.

779
00:37:14,276 --> 00:37:15,694
I couldn't believe it.

780
00:37:15,861 --> 00:37:17,404
We might have our guy.

781
00:37:19,781 --> 00:37:23,118
The fingerprints belonged
to a Leslie Sykes,

782
00:37:23,285 --> 00:37:27,289
born December 20th,
1962 in Branson, Missouri.

783
00:37:29,333 --> 00:37:31,168
Homer Johnson,
the homeless gentleman,

784
00:37:31,335 --> 00:37:34,338
swore Sykes was the person
who had given him a ride.

785
00:37:34,505 --> 00:37:37,216
The woman who rented the house
also IDed him off his photo.

786
00:37:37,382 --> 00:37:40,219
[Taylor]
Sykes had no criminal record,
no employment history,

787
00:37:40,385 --> 00:37:42,137
no current address,
no phone number

788
00:37:42,304 --> 00:37:44,556
or bank account and,
big surprise,

789
00:37:44,723 --> 00:37:47,601
the guy hadn't paid taxes
in more than two decades.

790
00:37:47,768 --> 00:37:50,020
Yeah, he really was a ghost,
but he was our ghost

791
00:37:50,187 --> 00:37:52,606
and we had to find him
before he killed again.

792
00:37:52,773 --> 00:37:54,942
Riverside police are asking
for the public's help

793
00:37:55,108 --> 00:37:56,944
in locating this man.

794
00:37:57,110 --> 00:37:59,738
Fifty-year-old Leslie Sykes
is a person of interest

795
00:37:59,905 --> 00:38:03,242
in what has been dubbed
as "the Mr. Shiny murders."

796
00:38:03,408 --> 00:38:05,786
The killer in that case
has now taken the lives

797
00:38:05,953 --> 00:38:08,288
of eight people
in both San Bernardino

798
00:38:08,455 --> 00:38:10,916
and Riverside counties,
and is still at large.

799
00:38:11,083 --> 00:38:13,001
We tried to do
a total media blitz,

800
00:38:13,168 --> 00:38:16,171
get this guy's picture in front
of as many people as possible.

801
00:38:16,338 --> 00:38:18,966
The story got carried
all over California,

802
00:38:19,132 --> 00:38:20,884
even in a few other
surrounding states,

803
00:38:21,051 --> 00:38:23,387
but no one was really
paying attention.

804
00:38:23,554 --> 00:38:25,556
But one person that did see
the coverage

805
00:38:25,722 --> 00:38:27,015
was Leslie Sykes.

806
00:38:29,601 --> 00:38:30,602
[distorted male voice]

807
00:38:43,699 --> 00:38:46,577
[Kirby] Five to go
and then we'll know...

808
00:38:46,910 --> 00:38:48,120
what?

809
00:38:48,287 --> 00:38:50,289
It was a sick game to him,

810
00:38:50,455 --> 00:38:52,040
but it was also
absolutely serious.

811
00:38:52,207 --> 00:38:54,501
Would he really stop at five?

812
00:38:54,668 --> 00:38:57,337
The next murder happened
less than a month later,

813
00:38:57,504 --> 00:38:59,047
March 19th.

814
00:38:59,798 --> 00:39:02,259
The victim was a 16-year-old

815
00:39:02,426 --> 00:39:05,929
high school student
named Victoria Macenroe.

816
00:39:06,889 --> 00:39:07,848
Sixteen.

817
00:39:09,683 --> 00:39:12,644
She was alone at her parents'
home in Hiland.

818
00:39:12,811 --> 00:39:15,564
They had gone out to visit
friends in Rancho Cucamonga.

819
00:39:16,064 --> 00:39:17,733
Sykes jumped the gate
and entered

820
00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:21,195
through a first floor window
at or around 9:21.

821
00:39:21,361 --> 00:39:22,779
And we know this

822
00:39:22,946 --> 00:39:24,656
because it was caught
on camera.

823
00:39:25,032 --> 00:39:27,451
Okay, so this is
the Color Dreams palette

824
00:39:27,618 --> 00:39:29,077
by Adorable Damage.

825
00:39:29,244 --> 00:39:31,163
I am just obsessed
with this brand lately.

826
00:39:31,330 --> 00:39:33,790
I actually reviewed
their Shimmer Shadow palette

827
00:39:33,957 --> 00:39:35,209
in my top ten video

828
00:39:35,375 --> 00:39:38,045
and they are
just killing it, okay?

829
00:39:38,212 --> 00:39:39,296
What I'm going to do

830
00:39:39,463 --> 00:39:41,006
is I'm going to go in

831
00:39:41,173 --> 00:39:44,301
for kind of a smoky look
with this one right here.

832
00:39:44,468 --> 00:39:47,763
And then, you can just go in,
like, a circular motion.

833
00:39:47,930 --> 00:39:49,890
You don't have to do
a bunch of back-and-forth

834
00:39:50,057 --> 00:39:52,017
windshield-wiper crap.

835
00:39:52,184 --> 00:39:53,560
So, start...

836
00:39:54,895 --> 00:39:56,855
"Windshield wiper,"
that sounds stupid.

837
00:39:57,022 --> 00:39:59,775
[heavy steps]

838
00:39:59,942 --> 00:40:01,568
Hey, I thought you were going
to text me on the way home!

839
00:40:01,735 --> 00:40:03,195
I'm starving!

840
00:40:06,448 --> 00:40:08,242
Mom? Mom?

841
00:40:09,701 --> 00:40:10,661
Dad?

842
00:40:16,542 --> 00:40:23,507
[Victoria screams]

843
00:40:28,929 --> 00:40:31,765
No, please! Please!
I'll do anything. Please!
My parents...

844
00:40:31,932 --> 00:40:34,685
I'll do anything!
Please! No!

845
00:40:40,065 --> 00:40:45,904
[tense music playing]

846
00:40:50,993 --> 00:40:57,958
[tense music playing]

847
00:41:33,577 --> 00:41:36,163
[ethereal whispering]

848
00:41:36,330 --> 00:41:42,169
[audio distorts]

849
00:41:45,172 --> 00:41:47,049
[Kirby] The video glitches
pretty bad there

850
00:41:47,216 --> 00:41:48,717
and it's hard to tell
what's going on.

851
00:41:48,884 --> 00:41:50,928
We've combed
over it frame by frame,

852
00:41:51,094 --> 00:41:54,181
but it's just too messed up
to see anything clearly.

853
00:41:54,973 --> 00:41:56,558
But obviously,
Sykes was performing

854
00:41:56,725 --> 00:41:58,435
some kind of ritual.

855
00:41:59,436 --> 00:42:01,855
[man] Ritual murder,
strictly speaking,

856
00:42:02,022 --> 00:42:04,816
is a relatively
obscure phenomenon

857
00:42:04,983 --> 00:42:07,528
not just in the United States,
but worldwide.

858
00:42:07,694 --> 00:42:12,282
It just doesn't happen
that often in its purest form.

859
00:42:12,449 --> 00:42:14,576
To this day,
people still believe

860
00:42:14,743 --> 00:42:18,539
that the Manson Family
was a satanic cult.

861
00:42:19,498 --> 00:42:20,624
It's not true.

862
00:42:20,791 --> 00:42:22,417
Of course, that's not to say

863
00:42:22,584 --> 00:42:24,753
that ritual murder
never happens.

864
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,507
There were the murder-suicides
in the Solar Temple cult,

865
00:42:28,674 --> 00:42:32,427
the Fall Rivers cult,
Order of the Black Sun.

866
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,807
The Mr. Shiny murders
definitely seem ritualistic,

867
00:42:36,974 --> 00:42:39,810
but I didn't recognize
any of the iconography.

868
00:42:39,977 --> 00:42:42,312
This wasn't some goetic rite

869
00:42:42,479 --> 00:42:45,858
pulled from a grimoire,
there was nothing Abrahamic.

870
00:42:46,024 --> 00:42:48,318
As I told the police
at that time,

871
00:42:49,486 --> 00:42:50,654
whatever it was,

872
00:42:52,072 --> 00:42:55,450
this guy was a true believer

873
00:42:55,617 --> 00:42:58,495
and very, very dangerous.

874
00:43:00,038 --> 00:43:02,374
And this is
all crazy in its own right,

875
00:43:02,541 --> 00:43:06,128
but what's truly unexpected
is what happens next.

876
00:43:07,212 --> 00:43:12,676
[panting]

877
00:43:19,474 --> 00:43:24,021
[Victoria moans in pain]

878
00:43:24,188 --> 00:43:26,315
Somehow, Victoria
survives being shot

879
00:43:26,481 --> 00:43:28,525
not only in the head,
but in the back twice

880
00:43:28,692 --> 00:43:30,027
and the shoulder.

881
00:43:30,194 --> 00:43:32,196
This is probably
because a 22-caliber weapon

882
00:43:32,362 --> 00:43:36,158
was used,
and just incredible luck.

883
00:43:37,951 --> 00:43:38,827
[woman] Victoria?

884
00:43:38,994 --> 00:43:41,163
[woman screams]
Oh, my God!

885
00:43:41,330 --> 00:43:43,332
Emergency workers
arrive in about 15 minutes

886
00:43:43,498 --> 00:43:45,083
and they're able
to stabilize Victoria

887
00:43:45,250 --> 00:43:47,920
on her way to
St. Bernardine Medical Center.

888
00:43:48,295 --> 00:43:51,924
I wish I could tell you
the story ended there.

889
00:43:52,090 --> 00:43:54,718
After going through surgery,
she was put
in the recovery ward,

890
00:43:54,885 --> 00:43:58,222
and I had multiple officers
assigned to guard her room,
just in case.

891
00:43:58,388 --> 00:44:00,807
And the hospital security
was put on alert.

892
00:44:01,266 --> 00:44:02,768
It should've been enough.

893
00:44:04,811 --> 00:44:08,815
[tense music playing]

894
00:44:08,982 --> 00:44:10,776
Sykes attacks
and subdues a nurse

895
00:44:10,943 --> 00:44:13,779
just getting off his shift
in the hospital parking lot,

896
00:44:13,946 --> 00:44:16,240
takes his uniform
and entry badge.

897
00:44:17,574 --> 00:44:20,077
He walks straight
through the front doors,

898
00:44:20,244 --> 00:44:23,580
right past security,
and goes to Macenroe's floor.

899
00:44:23,747 --> 00:44:26,792
I mean, he seems to know
exactly where to go.

900
00:44:27,251 --> 00:44:28,877
He goes to the nurses' station,

901
00:44:29,044 --> 00:44:31,171
introduces himself
to the other staff,

902
00:44:31,338 --> 00:44:33,549
says he was transferred
from Pediatrics.

903
00:44:34,174 --> 00:44:35,717
They believe him.

904
00:44:35,884 --> 00:44:38,470
Says he knows
all the vernacular
and hospital procedure.

905
00:44:38,637 --> 00:44:41,223
Sykes quite literally cares
for three different patients

906
00:44:41,390 --> 00:44:43,225
over a four-hour period.

907
00:44:43,392 --> 00:44:46,270
He walks by police
and security several times

908
00:44:46,436 --> 00:44:47,855
and is never noticed.

909
00:44:49,481 --> 00:44:51,316
Yeah, including by Joe or me.

910
00:44:54,444 --> 00:44:55,821
[Kirby] He was right there.

911
00:44:56,905 --> 00:44:59,324
We practically
touched each other.

912
00:44:59,658 --> 00:45:00,951
If I'd just
been paying attention,

913
00:45:01,118 --> 00:45:03,412
if I'd just
looked into his eyes...

914
00:45:05,747 --> 00:45:07,416
I'll never forgive myself
for not realizing

915
00:45:07,583 --> 00:45:11,170
just how bold
he might really be.

916
00:45:11,336 --> 00:45:13,255
He waits
until there's a shift change,

917
00:45:13,422 --> 00:45:15,465
enters the room
for storing pharmaceuticals,

918
00:45:15,632 --> 00:45:18,635
and proceeds to poison an AB
negative blood transfusion bag

919
00:45:18,802 --> 00:45:20,721
with an industrial cleaner

920
00:45:20,888 --> 00:45:22,681
he finds
in a custodial closet.

921
00:45:22,848 --> 00:45:25,601
He knows that Macenroe
is the only with AB negative

922
00:45:25,767 --> 00:45:29,354
in the wing and is the only one
who will receive that bag.

923
00:45:30,731 --> 00:45:31,899
Then he leaves.

924
00:45:33,775 --> 00:45:35,736
Later that night,
a nurse comes in to rotate out

925
00:45:35,903 --> 00:45:37,362
Macenroe's backup bag

926
00:45:37,529 --> 00:45:39,031
and unknowingly replaces it

927
00:45:39,198 --> 00:45:40,991
with the poisoned one.

928
00:45:41,158 --> 00:45:42,784
Victoria was dead
within minutes,

929
00:45:42,951 --> 00:45:45,370
but Sykes was long gone
by then.

930
00:45:45,537 --> 00:45:46,747
This was a huge blow

931
00:45:46,914 --> 00:45:48,790
to everyone involved
in the case.

932
00:45:48,957 --> 00:45:51,043
The one victim that survived,

933
00:45:51,210 --> 00:45:53,212
we couldn't protect her.

934
00:45:53,629 --> 00:45:55,047
I mean, we were right there.

935
00:45:55,214 --> 00:45:56,924
We could've had him.

936
00:45:57,090 --> 00:45:58,634
Yeah, that was one
of the roughest nights

937
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,385
in my entire life.

938
00:46:04,515 --> 00:46:06,225
Could we take a break?

939
00:46:06,391 --> 00:46:07,351
[producer] Yeah.

940
00:46:09,770 --> 00:46:13,273
[sad music playing]

941
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:14,816
[man] It was a roller-coaster.

942
00:46:20,405 --> 00:46:22,032
Realizing
that she might be hurt,

943
00:46:24,868 --> 00:46:30,249
then thinking
that she might be okay...

944
00:46:33,293 --> 00:46:38,131
thinking
that she was okay, and...

945
00:46:41,051 --> 00:46:43,637
Some days I feel
like she's still here.

946
00:46:46,181 --> 00:46:53,146
[sad music playing]

947
00:46:56,859 --> 00:46:59,027
[producer]

948
00:47:00,737 --> 00:47:01,738
Yeah.

949
00:47:01,905 --> 00:47:03,991
We couldn't touch it.

950
00:47:04,157 --> 00:47:06,493
I think about
that saying a lot,

951
00:47:06,660 --> 00:47:09,955
"you really die the last time
someone says your name."

952
00:47:11,123 --> 00:47:14,209
And I guess
we kept all her stuff

953
00:47:14,376 --> 00:47:17,296
because we didn't want her
to die.

954
00:47:19,631 --> 00:47:22,843
Even though I know she's dead.

955
00:47:24,761 --> 00:47:26,513
[reporter] Victoria Macenroe was
serial killer

956
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,891
Leslie Sykes' ninth
and most recent victim

957
00:47:29,057 --> 00:47:30,809
in the Mr. Shiny murders,

958
00:47:30,976 --> 00:47:32,853
a killing spree that spans
three counties

959
00:47:33,020 --> 00:47:34,563
and over 18 years.

960
00:47:34,730 --> 00:47:36,481
Authorities continue to urge
the public

961
00:47:36,648 --> 00:47:38,775
to keep a watchful
lookout for Sykes,

962
00:47:38,942 --> 00:47:40,861
who remains at large
and is considered armed

963
00:47:41,028 --> 00:47:42,487
and extremely dangerous.

964
00:47:42,946 --> 00:47:44,489
Residents of the Hiland
neighborhood

965
00:47:44,656 --> 00:47:46,241
where Macenroe was murdered

966
00:47:46,408 --> 00:47:47,951
have expressed
their frustration at police

967
00:47:48,118 --> 00:47:49,912
for their inability
to capture,

968
00:47:50,078 --> 00:47:51,496
or even come close
to capturing,

969
00:47:51,663 --> 00:47:52,998
the elusive killer.

970
00:47:53,582 --> 00:47:55,125
It's unacceptable.

971
00:47:55,292 --> 00:47:56,627
It's insane.

972
00:47:56,793 --> 00:47:59,171
Somebody in the San Bernardino
Police Department

973
00:47:59,338 --> 00:48:00,672
should be held accountable

974
00:48:00,839 --> 00:48:02,424
for letting it get out of hand
like this.

975
00:48:02,591 --> 00:48:04,968
It's messed up how they haven't
caught the guy yet.

976
00:48:06,011 --> 00:48:07,721
This used to be
a pretty great place to live,

977
00:48:07,888 --> 00:48:09,848
but, honestly,
I'm really scared.

978
00:48:10,015 --> 00:48:11,975
And that girl,
she just lives, like,

979
00:48:12,142 --> 00:48:13,602
a couple blocks from here!

980
00:48:13,769 --> 00:48:15,729
So, I mean, who's next, right?

981
00:48:15,896 --> 00:48:18,565
[Taylor] We were really
feeling the pressure
by this point.

982
00:48:18,732 --> 00:48:19,983
Macenroe's murder seemed to be

983
00:48:20,150 --> 00:48:22,110
the straw that broke
the camel's back

984
00:48:22,277 --> 00:48:24,863
in terms of public outrage.

985
00:48:25,030 --> 00:48:26,573
But I felt for all of them.

986
00:48:26,740 --> 00:48:29,660
Every single victim
deserved justice.

987
00:48:29,826 --> 00:48:32,538
And for everything
we'd done up until this point,

988
00:48:32,704 --> 00:48:35,707
until you catch your guy,
you haven't done shit.

989
00:48:36,375 --> 00:48:38,210
We'd already been offering
a cash reward

990
00:48:38,377 --> 00:48:41,088
for any lead that led
to the arrest of Leslie Sykes,

991
00:48:41,255 --> 00:48:44,466
but I convinced the D.A.'s
Office to substantially up it.

992
00:48:44,633 --> 00:48:45,884
It ended up being
one of the highest

993
00:48:46,051 --> 00:48:47,261
in San Bernardino's history.

994
00:48:47,427 --> 00:48:49,930
$80,000 for just one person.

995
00:48:50,097 --> 00:48:51,473
At the same time,
we were digging

996
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,141
into Sykes' past,
trying to figure out

997
00:48:53,308 --> 00:48:56,562
everything we could,
which wasn't easy.

998
00:48:56,728 --> 00:48:58,522
All his known relatives
were dead.

999
00:48:58,689 --> 00:49:00,357
He had been
briefly married in '88

1000
00:49:00,524 --> 00:49:02,568
to a woman named
Suzanne Hemler,

1001
00:49:02,734 --> 00:49:04,403
but that was over by '91.

1002
00:49:04,570 --> 00:49:08,407
Tried to contact her,
but she committed suicide
in 2008.

1003
00:49:09,157 --> 00:49:10,617
We started reaching out
to people

1004
00:49:10,784 --> 00:49:11,952
Sykes went to high school with,

1005
00:49:12,119 --> 00:49:14,413
but nobody seems
to remember him.

1006
00:49:14,580 --> 00:49:17,207
Finally, we find
someone who will talk to us.

1007
00:49:17,374 --> 00:49:19,126
A guy named Jared Kelly.

1008
00:49:47,654 --> 00:49:49,031
And he's like, fucking...

1009
00:49:53,076 --> 00:49:54,536
[Kirby] How so?

1010
00:49:54,703 --> 00:49:56,830
[Jared] Just, like, agitated,

1011
00:49:56,997 --> 00:49:58,540
distracted.

1012
00:50:04,671 --> 00:50:06,089
[Taylor] A cave?

1013
00:50:26,985 --> 00:50:28,028
[Taylor] Like what?

1014
00:50:48,507 --> 00:50:49,883
It's, like, ingrained.

1015
00:50:59,184 --> 00:51:00,811
Which is metal as fuck.

1016
00:51:04,773 --> 00:51:06,525
[dial tone]

1017
00:51:06,692 --> 00:51:07,776
[dispatcher]

1018
00:51:07,943 --> 00:51:13,156
[male voice]

1019
00:51:13,323 --> 00:51:15,409
[dispatcher]

1020
00:51:15,576 --> 00:51:16,869
[male voice] Police.

1021
00:51:17,035 --> 00:51:18,620
- [male voice]
- [woman sobbing in background]

1022
00:51:18,787 --> 00:51:21,248
[dispatcher]

1023
00:51:21,415 --> 00:51:23,417
[Taylor] Sykes attempts
to break into the residence

1024
00:51:23,584 --> 00:51:25,043
of Miles and Kelly Harris,

1025
00:51:25,210 --> 00:51:27,421
an older couple
living in Rancho West.

1026
00:51:27,588 --> 00:51:29,882
He scaled the fence
into their backyard,

1027
00:51:30,048 --> 00:51:31,592
but is almost
immediately attacked

1028
00:51:31,758 --> 00:51:34,553
by the Harrises'
48-pound pit bull, Caesar.

1029
00:51:34,720 --> 00:51:36,805
Mr. Harris
overhears the commotion,

1030
00:51:36,972 --> 00:51:38,056
looks into his backyard

1031
00:51:38,223 --> 00:51:39,683
and sees
the struggle happening.

1032
00:51:39,850 --> 00:51:41,518
I mean, this was a big animal,

1033
00:51:41,685 --> 00:51:44,479
and it's able to physically
knock Sykes off his feet.

1034
00:51:44,646 --> 00:51:46,064
We know he was hurt pretty bad

1035
00:51:46,231 --> 00:51:47,566
because we find blood
on the ground

1036
00:51:47,733 --> 00:51:49,359
in multiple places.

1037
00:51:49,693 --> 00:51:51,528
Sadly, the dog's
only able to keep this up

1038
00:51:51,695 --> 00:51:55,824
for so long before Sykes
uses a bladed weapon
and stabs it repeatedly,

1039
00:51:55,991 --> 00:51:57,701
then he jumps the fence again.

1040
00:51:57,868 --> 00:51:59,411
[Kirby] This time,
I was not going to let

1041
00:51:59,578 --> 00:52:00,787
the same thing
happen to the Harrises

1042
00:52:00,954 --> 00:52:02,915
that happened
to Victoria Macenroe.

1043
00:52:03,081 --> 00:52:05,584
They were immediately
put into protective custody.

1044
00:52:06,376 --> 00:52:08,378
Not that it mattered,
because Sykes must have had

1045
00:52:08,545 --> 00:52:10,923
a backup plan for that night.

1046
00:52:11,089 --> 00:52:13,800
31-year-old Leo Deetz
was working a night shift

1047
00:52:13,967 --> 00:52:15,260
at a 24-hour doughnut shop

1048
00:52:15,427 --> 00:52:17,346
in La Sierra
when he was attacked.

1049
00:52:17,513 --> 00:52:18,597
[Leo] Yeah, I don't
like fantasy shit,

1050
00:52:18,764 --> 00:52:21,058
but this one's
actually pretty dope.

1051
00:52:21,225 --> 00:52:25,312
It's, like,
violence and sex and stuff.
I don't know.

1052
00:52:25,479 --> 00:52:28,565
It's based on books,
so it seems pretty legit.

1053
00:52:29,775 --> 00:52:30,651
[chuckles]

1054
00:52:30,817 --> 00:52:33,737
Yeah. Yeah, you too, man.

1055
00:52:33,904 --> 00:52:35,197
Yeah. Peace!

1056
00:52:37,908 --> 00:52:44,873
[tense music playing]

1057
00:52:57,135 --> 00:52:58,428
[Leo mumbles]

1058
00:53:01,265 --> 00:53:03,392
[Leo groans in pain]

1059
00:53:08,814 --> 00:53:15,779
[Leo screams]

1060
00:53:21,410 --> 00:53:23,495
[dramatic music playing]

1061
00:53:23,662 --> 00:53:25,247
[Taylor] Leo Deetz
is found the next morning

1062
00:53:25,414 --> 00:53:27,583
with his heart
removed from his body.

1063
00:53:28,083 --> 00:53:35,048
[tense music playing]

1064
00:53:37,926 --> 00:53:40,512
A security guard sees Sykes
exit the back of the shop

1065
00:53:40,679 --> 00:53:43,265
and tries to confront him,
but Sykes flees.

1066
00:53:44,016 --> 00:53:45,893
[guard] Honestly,
I was just doing my job.

1067
00:53:46,059 --> 00:53:49,062
I was wrapping up my rounds
for the evening
here in this complex.

1068
00:53:49,229 --> 00:53:51,356
I was going to take
some doughnuts home
to me and the girlfriend.

1069
00:53:51,523 --> 00:53:52,691
I saw a man leaving the shop

1070
00:53:52,858 --> 00:53:55,194
in a very, very weird mask.

1071
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:56,862
[Taylor] The guard
still manages to grab

1072
00:53:57,029 --> 00:53:59,489
his license plate number
and report it to the police.

1073
00:53:59,656 --> 00:54:01,533
I'm just bummed
I didn't get the reward money.

1074
00:54:01,700 --> 00:54:03,702
In the surveillance video
from the doughnut shop,

1075
00:54:03,869 --> 00:54:06,121
you could tell Sykes
was in pain from the dog bite.

1076
00:54:06,288 --> 00:54:08,207
He's unfocused and unprepared.

1077
00:54:08,373 --> 00:54:09,833
Then he's forced
to ditch his car

1078
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,418
after it's reported
by the guard,

1079
00:54:11,585 --> 00:54:12,753
which we find abandoned

1080
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,547
near the 91
and 215 interchange.

1081
00:54:15,714 --> 00:54:17,382
The more desperate
Sykes became,

1082
00:54:17,549 --> 00:54:20,761
the more likely
he was to make a mistake.

1083
00:54:20,928 --> 00:54:22,179
That was the hope.

1084
00:54:22,888 --> 00:54:24,139
[Kirby] We'd
kind of hit a brick wall

1085
00:54:24,306 --> 00:54:25,599
digging into Sykes' past.

1086
00:54:25,766 --> 00:54:28,936
He just vanished
into thin air after '91.

1087
00:54:29,686 --> 00:54:33,649
That's when we realized
it's because he wasn't
in the country.

1088
00:54:33,815 --> 00:54:36,276
Turns out Sykes had used
his late ex-wife's credit card

1089
00:54:36,443 --> 00:54:41,907
to purchase a one-way ticket
to, of all places, Jerusalem.

1090
00:54:42,449 --> 00:54:45,536
[sighs] I know,
what the F, right?

1091
00:54:45,702 --> 00:54:47,371
I mean, we were just baffled.

1092
00:54:47,538 --> 00:54:49,581
And we also realized
this was beyond the scope

1093
00:54:49,748 --> 00:54:51,708
of our resources,
so we reached out

1094
00:54:51,875 --> 00:54:53,961
to the FBI
and asked for their help.

1095
00:54:54,127 --> 00:54:56,421
They, in turn, got in contact
with Interpol

1096
00:54:56,588 --> 00:54:58,674
and a whole side
investigation got underway,

1097
00:54:58,841 --> 00:55:01,468
trying to find out what Sykes
was doing over there.

1098
00:55:02,386 --> 00:55:04,096
What was found out was...

1099
00:55:05,347 --> 00:55:07,599
Let's just say
it didn't clear anything up.

1100
00:55:07,766 --> 00:55:10,102
Sykes flies
to Jerusalem in '96,

1101
00:55:10,269 --> 00:55:12,646
not long after the murder
of Noah Lafone,

1102
00:55:12,813 --> 00:55:15,274
and then, evidently,
he passes into Syria.

1103
00:55:15,691 --> 00:55:18,318
Now, the information here
is sketchy at best,

1104
00:55:18,485 --> 00:55:21,738
but apparently, Sykes
was living in northern Iraq
for two years,

1105
00:55:21,905 --> 00:55:24,032
but then flees
after Operation Desert Fox

1106
00:55:24,199 --> 00:55:25,784
in '98.

1107
00:55:25,951 --> 00:55:28,579
As far as we know,
Sykes didn't speak Arabic,

1108
00:55:28,745 --> 00:55:31,874
but apparently, he learned.

1109
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,251
Sykes then crosses
the border into Turkey,

1110
00:55:34,418 --> 00:55:36,837
and then into Italy in 2001.

1111
00:55:37,004 --> 00:55:38,922
While there, he attends
a museum exhibit

1112
00:55:39,089 --> 00:55:42,092
on Etruscan pottery
in the city of Mantua

1113
00:55:42,259 --> 00:55:45,971
and gets into some sort
of altercation and is arrested.

1114
00:55:47,181 --> 00:55:48,432
I don't know
what Sykes is doing

1115
00:55:48,599 --> 00:55:49,975
looking at Etruscan pottery,

1116
00:55:50,142 --> 00:55:51,560
but he doesn't stay
in Italy long

1117
00:55:51,727 --> 00:55:54,354
before moving
on to Germany in 2003.

1118
00:55:54,521 --> 00:55:56,398
And that's where we learn
of someone who claims

1119
00:55:56,565 --> 00:55:58,734
to have had direct contact
with him there.

1120
00:55:59,026 --> 00:56:03,530
I met Mr. Sykes
when I was living in Xanten.

1121
00:56:03,697 --> 00:56:06,533
He contacted me
through the internet

1122
00:56:06,700 --> 00:56:09,953
about several books
that I was selling.

1123
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,580
Specifically,
he was looking to buy

1124
00:56:11,747 --> 00:56:17,252
my copy of a printed work
from the late Middle Ages,

1125
00:56:17,419 --> 00:56:21,131
a manuscript known
as...

1126
00:56:21,298 --> 00:56:23,091
It's a very valuable book,

1127
00:56:23,258 --> 00:56:27,012
only half a dozen copies
or something still exist.

1128
00:56:27,179 --> 00:56:28,805
[producer]

1129
00:56:28,972 --> 00:56:31,600
It's a book of spells,
basically.

1130
00:56:31,767 --> 00:56:32,976
Witchcraft.

1131
00:56:33,185 --> 00:56:34,686
[producer]

1132
00:56:34,853 --> 00:56:36,146
Well, he wanted to buy it
off me,

1133
00:56:36,313 --> 00:56:37,814
but I wasn't selling.

1134
00:56:37,981 --> 00:56:39,942
I don't know
if he was for real or not,

1135
00:56:40,108 --> 00:56:42,611
but he offered
some wild prices.

1136
00:56:42,778 --> 00:56:45,489
100, 150,000 euro.

1137
00:56:45,656 --> 00:56:48,116
The guy kind of creeped me out,
to be honest.

1138
00:56:49,910 --> 00:56:52,454
So, when my shop was vandalized

1139
00:56:52,621 --> 00:56:54,248
a couple days later
and the book was gone,

1140
00:56:54,414 --> 00:56:56,333
I immediately knew who did it.

1141
00:56:56,959 --> 00:56:59,253
To know that I came
that close in contact

1142
00:56:59,419 --> 00:57:00,963
with a serial killer...

1143
00:57:02,089 --> 00:57:04,007
The thing that gets me
more than anything else

1144
00:57:04,174 --> 00:57:06,343
though is what the hell
happened to that book.

1145
00:57:07,427 --> 00:57:10,347
[Kirby] We had hoped,
maybe, that Sykes

1146
00:57:10,514 --> 00:57:12,057
would be deterred
by how bungled

1147
00:57:12,224 --> 00:57:13,976
the last few attacks had been.

1148
00:57:14,142 --> 00:57:16,979
We didn't think he would stop,
but maybe just slow down

1149
00:57:17,145 --> 00:57:19,022
long enough
for us to find him.

1150
00:57:20,107 --> 00:57:23,110
If anything, it must have
reinvigorated his cause.

1151
00:57:23,277 --> 00:57:24,653
- Get in the fucking car, Coby!
- [Coby] Wait!

1152
00:57:24,820 --> 00:57:26,989
- This is not our issue.
- We can't just leave him!

1153
00:57:27,155 --> 00:57:29,074
Are you fucking kidding me?
This is not our problem!

1154
00:57:29,241 --> 00:57:31,410
- I'm leaving.
- [Coby] Emily! Wait!

1155
00:57:34,663 --> 00:57:40,919
[tense music playing]

1156
00:57:41,086 --> 00:57:42,462
Holy shit.

1157
00:57:45,299 --> 00:57:46,842
This is fucking crazy.

1158
00:57:58,770 --> 00:58:00,439
[Kirby] The victim
was Saroj Mallick,

1159
00:58:00,606 --> 00:58:03,192
the security guard
that saw Sykes
behind the doughnut shop

1160
00:58:03,358 --> 00:58:05,360
and reported his plate
to police.

1161
00:58:05,527 --> 00:58:06,987
After leaving work
on April 2nd,

1162
00:58:07,154 --> 00:58:08,655
he was supposed to meet
his girlfriend at a bar

1163
00:58:08,822 --> 00:58:10,490
at 8:30 but never shows.

1164
00:58:10,657 --> 00:58:12,534
He doesn't show up
for work the next day either,

1165
00:58:12,701 --> 00:58:14,244
and his cell phone is off.

1166
00:58:14,411 --> 00:58:16,455
Although his coworkers
are a little concerned,

1167
00:58:16,622 --> 00:58:18,457
nothing's reported to police.

1168
00:58:18,624 --> 00:58:20,501
I guess he had a habit
of just blowing out

1169
00:58:20,667 --> 00:58:22,753
to Vegas for the weekend
without telling anybody.

1170
00:58:23,837 --> 00:58:25,589
But he didn't go to Vegas.

1171
00:58:26,632 --> 00:58:28,050
[Taylor] The following day
he's found hung

1172
00:58:28,217 --> 00:58:30,552
from a public playground
swing set.

1173
00:58:30,719 --> 00:58:33,180
"Displayed" is the word.

1174
00:58:33,805 --> 00:58:36,266
It was a form of torture
the ancient Vikings

1175
00:58:36,433 --> 00:58:38,977
used to use called
"blood eagle."

1176
00:58:39,561 --> 00:58:41,897
The flesh of the back
is cut open,

1177
00:58:42,064 --> 00:58:43,899
ribs are bent back,

1178
00:58:44,066 --> 00:58:46,485
then both lungs are pulled out.

1179
00:58:46,652 --> 00:58:48,362
The mutilation resembles...

1180
00:58:49,571 --> 00:58:50,739
Yeah, you guessed it, wings.

1181
00:58:50,906 --> 00:58:52,324
Blood eagle.

1182
00:58:52,491 --> 00:58:55,536
It was clearly done
for dramatic effect.

1183
00:58:55,702 --> 00:58:57,788
When the Fire Department
is getting his body down,

1184
00:58:57,955 --> 00:58:59,289
they find this CD.

1185
00:59:01,458 --> 00:59:08,006
[digital sounds]

1186
00:59:11,718 --> 00:59:17,182
[soft music playing]

1187
00:59:17,349 --> 00:59:18,559
[digital sounds]

1188
00:59:18,725 --> 00:59:23,021
[dance music in background]

1189
00:59:23,188 --> 00:59:27,067
[man groans]

1190
00:59:27,234 --> 00:59:28,235
[man] The fuck?

1191
00:59:30,654 --> 00:59:31,655
Hello?

1192
00:59:33,365 --> 00:59:34,700
Hello?

1193
00:59:34,867 --> 00:59:36,243
Anybody, help!

1194
00:59:39,204 --> 00:59:40,080
Hello!

1195
00:59:40,247 --> 00:59:41,248
Help!

1196
00:59:43,959 --> 00:59:44,835
Hello!

1197
00:59:45,002 --> 00:59:46,086
Let me out of here!

1198
00:59:48,130 --> 00:59:49,548
Yo, yo, yo, yo! Okay, okay!

1199
00:59:49,715 --> 00:59:51,633
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Sir, please no, no, no!

1200
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:52,676
Oh! Oh, shit!

1201
00:59:52,843 --> 00:59:54,636
No! No! Please! Fuck!

1202
00:59:54,803 --> 00:59:57,848
- No! Shit! Help me!
Stop, please!
- [drill whirring]

1203
00:59:58,015 --> 00:59:59,558
Stop it! Somebody!

1204
00:59:59,725 --> 01:00:01,351
Okay, I'll say anything!
I'll do anything!

1205
01:00:01,518 --> 01:00:03,478
Please stop!
Please stop! Please stop!

1206
01:00:03,645 --> 01:00:05,731
[ringing sound]

1207
01:00:05,898 --> 01:00:06,773
Okay.

1208
01:00:06,940 --> 01:00:07,900
"I have been selected

1209
01:00:08,066 --> 01:00:10,485
because of my direct actions.

1210
01:00:10,652 --> 01:00:13,197
I should not have interfered
with the Great One's plan.

1211
01:00:13,363 --> 01:00:18,577
And for my blasphemies,
I will be put into transit."

1212
01:00:19,870 --> 01:00:20,829
Hello?

1213
01:00:24,333 --> 01:00:25,292
Hello?

1214
01:00:28,462 --> 01:00:29,338
[screams]

1215
01:00:29,505 --> 01:00:31,089
He wanted us to know

1216
01:00:31,256 --> 01:00:32,883
he was punishing this guy

1217
01:00:33,050 --> 01:00:34,092
for trying to stop him.

1218
01:00:34,259 --> 01:00:35,469
He was saying,

1219
01:00:35,636 --> 01:00:37,304
"Stay out of his way or else."

1220
01:00:37,471 --> 01:00:39,097
He was saying,

1221
01:00:39,264 --> 01:00:41,558
"This is your fault, not mine."

1222
01:00:43,477 --> 01:00:46,271
[producer]

1223
01:00:46,438 --> 01:00:47,773
Oh, but I do.

1224
01:00:48,899 --> 01:00:51,151
No, I'll carry his death,
and all of their deaths,

1225
01:00:51,318 --> 01:00:53,862
on my conscience until the day
I leave this planet.

1226
01:00:55,239 --> 01:00:57,783
[Taylor]
After the Mallick murder,
a lot less tips came in.

1227
01:00:57,950 --> 01:00:59,326
People were afraid.

1228
01:00:59,493 --> 01:01:02,204
I guess they had
every right to be.

1229
01:01:02,371 --> 01:01:04,706
We picked apart Sykes' house
with a fine-toothed comb

1230
01:01:04,873 --> 01:01:07,376
and found almost nothing
useful at all.

1231
01:01:07,543 --> 01:01:09,586
We excavated parts
of the backyard.

1232
01:01:09,753 --> 01:01:11,797
There was nothing but dirt.

1233
01:01:11,964 --> 01:01:14,967
We knew Sykes used
Presto brand toothpaste,

1234
01:01:15,133 --> 01:01:16,802
the one DVD he owned
was season two

1235
01:01:16,969 --> 01:01:18,262
of Meet the Furballs,

1236
01:01:18,595 --> 01:01:20,931
and his favorite drink
was 2% milk.

1237
01:01:21,098 --> 01:01:21,974
Yikes.

1238
01:01:22,140 --> 01:01:23,433
He ate there,

1239
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,269
he slept there,
but it didn't seem

1240
01:01:25,435 --> 01:01:26,478
like he lived there.

1241
01:01:26,645 --> 01:01:28,021
It was like a front.

1242
01:01:28,188 --> 01:01:29,857
It was like a show being put
on to pretend

1243
01:01:30,023 --> 01:01:32,651
the person that lived
there was vaguely normal.

1244
01:01:33,735 --> 01:01:35,445
After a long day
of chasing some leads

1245
01:01:35,612 --> 01:01:38,115
that went nowhere,

1246
01:01:38,282 --> 01:01:39,908
I went to the backyard
of Sykes' house

1247
01:01:40,075 --> 01:01:41,326
to get some fresh air.

1248
01:01:42,494 --> 01:01:45,372
I think I was hoping I'd have
some transcendent moment

1249
01:01:45,539 --> 01:01:47,082
a lot of profilers talk about,
you know,

1250
01:01:47,249 --> 01:01:48,667
when you enter
the headspace of the killer

1251
01:01:48,834 --> 01:01:50,419
and you start
to think like them.

1252
01:01:51,795 --> 01:01:52,921
That never happened.

1253
01:01:54,006 --> 01:01:55,716
None of it
made any sense to me.

1254
01:01:57,050 --> 01:01:58,177
So, it was
like 2:00 in the morning

1255
01:01:58,343 --> 01:01:59,928
and I'm just...

1256
01:02:00,095 --> 01:02:03,390
you know, zoning out,
looking up at the stars.

1257
01:02:05,017 --> 01:02:08,437
And then
I remember that telescope

1258
01:02:08,979 --> 01:02:10,856
that we pulled
Sykes' prints from.

1259
01:02:12,900 --> 01:02:15,194
What stars was Leslie Sykes
looking at?

1260
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,363
The area in the sky
that Leslie Sykes

1261
01:02:18,530 --> 01:02:21,241
had his telescope pointed at
was interesting for two reasons.

1262
01:02:21,408 --> 01:02:23,160
First, he was looking
at Ophiuchus.

1263
01:02:23,327 --> 01:02:25,704
Now, most people hadn't
even heard of Ophiuchus.

1264
01:02:25,871 --> 01:02:28,207
It's one of the 13 major
constellations

1265
01:02:28,373 --> 01:02:29,625
along the ecliptic,

1266
01:02:29,791 --> 01:02:32,252
smack in between Scorpius
and Sagittarius.

1267
01:02:32,586 --> 01:02:33,754
It's also called the...

1268
01:02:33,921 --> 01:02:35,923
The so-called 13th zodiac sign,

1269
01:02:36,089 --> 01:02:39,384
although that's getting
into astrology
and not hard science.

1270
01:02:39,551 --> 01:02:42,596
My wife would kill me
for explaining it that way.

1271
01:02:42,763 --> 01:02:44,556
The ancient Greeks
were the one that named

1272
01:02:44,723 --> 01:02:46,600
all the constellations
as we know them today.

1273
01:02:46,767 --> 01:02:50,354
Pisces is a fish,
Taurus is a bull, etc.

1274
01:02:50,521 --> 01:02:53,148
Ophiuchus is
the serpent bearer,

1275
01:02:53,315 --> 01:02:56,485
a man battling a giant snake.

1276
01:02:56,652 --> 01:02:58,028
The reason I mention Ophiuchus

1277
01:02:58,195 --> 01:02:59,905
is because a rare
celestial event

1278
01:03:00,072 --> 01:03:03,450
was taking place
in its constellational
borders that exact month.

1279
01:03:03,742 --> 01:03:05,035
A planetary alignment

1280
01:03:05,202 --> 01:03:07,496
where Mercury,
Jupiter, and Saturn

1281
01:03:07,663 --> 01:03:09,581
come in earshot of each other

1282
01:03:09,748 --> 01:03:12,584
in a way that happens
once every 800 years or so.

1283
01:03:12,751 --> 01:03:14,711
This is a real thing,
you can look it up.

1284
01:03:14,878 --> 01:03:16,880
May 13th, 2011.

1285
01:03:17,047 --> 01:03:19,091
You could view it
with a naked eye.

1286
01:03:19,258 --> 01:03:22,594
But only for a few hours,
which is why it's so special.

1287
01:03:23,846 --> 01:03:25,806
The symbol.

1288
01:03:25,973 --> 01:03:27,307
A leech bite.

1289
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,979
Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn.

1290
01:03:33,146 --> 01:03:36,608
The rare planetary alignment
that was only a few weeks away.

1291
01:03:38,277 --> 01:03:40,112
So, is this all
one big coincidence?

1292
01:03:41,446 --> 01:03:42,948
One thing they really drill
into your brain

1293
01:03:43,115 --> 01:03:44,867
at the Academy is
that the human mind

1294
01:03:45,033 --> 01:03:46,869
is very adept
at finding patterns

1295
01:03:47,035 --> 01:03:49,288
in things,
even if they aren't there.

1296
01:03:50,289 --> 01:03:52,833
They tell you
to watch out for it,
to not get carried away,

1297
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,127
to remember Occam's razor.

1298
01:03:55,294 --> 01:03:58,755
The simplest explanation
is usually the correct one.

1299
01:04:01,216 --> 01:04:04,261
But sometimes,
it's actually the strangest.

1300
01:04:05,554 --> 01:04:07,431
We had brought in
these big halogen lights

1301
01:04:07,598 --> 01:04:08,932
to Sykes' house
because the place

1302
01:04:09,099 --> 01:04:10,350
was so dark at night.

1303
01:04:10,517 --> 01:04:13,437
But as soon as we turned it on,
it blew a fuse.

1304
01:04:13,604 --> 01:04:16,064
So, one of the deputies is
trying to reset the breaker

1305
01:04:16,231 --> 01:04:19,484
and realized the subpanel
in the closet wasn't working.

1306
01:04:19,776 --> 01:04:21,069
As he's messing with it,

1307
01:04:21,236 --> 01:04:23,405
the whole thing
just comes out of the wall.

1308
01:04:23,572 --> 01:04:26,241
Like everything in that house,
it was a fake.

1309
01:04:26,408 --> 01:04:29,244
Behind it, there was a space
with a lockbox.

1310
01:04:29,411 --> 01:04:30,704
Of course, we cleared the house

1311
01:04:30,871 --> 01:04:32,706
and called the bomb squad,
just in case.

1312
01:04:32,873 --> 01:04:35,125
They used
one of those little robots
and everything.

1313
01:04:35,417 --> 01:04:36,627
No bomb.

1314
01:04:36,793 --> 01:04:39,087
But that didn't seem
like his style, anyway.

1315
01:04:39,254 --> 01:04:40,631
The box was just a cheapo,

1316
01:04:40,797 --> 01:04:43,425
we just pried it open
with a crowbar.

1317
01:04:43,592 --> 01:04:45,552
And inside, just two things.

1318
01:04:46,220 --> 01:04:47,721
Leslie Sykes' passport,

1319
01:04:47,888 --> 01:04:49,848
expired from 2003,

1320
01:04:50,974 --> 01:04:53,560
and a key
with an attached keychain.

1321
01:04:58,941 --> 01:05:00,359
[Kirby] We drove over there
straight away

1322
01:05:00,526 --> 01:05:02,444
and went inside the unit.

1323
01:05:02,611 --> 01:05:04,154
In retrospect,
it was pretty stupid of us.

1324
01:05:04,321 --> 01:05:05,656
I mean, the thing
could've been booby-trapped,

1325
01:05:05,822 --> 01:05:07,991
or he could've been waiting
in there for us.

1326
01:05:08,158 --> 01:05:09,785
Who knows.

1327
01:05:09,952 --> 01:05:11,578
But it felt like we'd run
out of time.

1328
01:05:12,496 --> 01:05:13,664
We just got lucky.

1329
01:05:13,830 --> 01:05:15,791
Everywhere my light goes,
you go, okay?

1330
01:05:16,333 --> 01:05:20,963
Jackpot, winning-lotto-ticket,
royal-flush lucky.

1331
01:05:21,129 --> 01:05:27,719
[tense music playing]

1332
01:05:34,685 --> 01:05:36,687
[Kirby] Here's why we never
get fingerprints.

1333
01:05:37,187 --> 01:05:40,274
Guy wears
a full-on hazmat suit.

1334
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:44,903
This is the mold, we believe,
for the mask he's been seen in.

1335
01:05:46,113 --> 01:05:47,781
Yeah, this guy
is big into space.

1336
01:05:47,948 --> 01:05:49,283
[officer] Over here.

1337
01:05:49,449 --> 01:05:50,492
[Kirby] Real big.

1338
01:05:51,660 --> 01:05:53,287
[Taylor]

1339
01:05:53,453 --> 01:05:54,538
[Kirby chuckles]

1340
01:05:54,705 --> 01:05:56,206
[Taylor]
Oh, you gotta check this out.

1341
01:05:56,373 --> 01:06:01,587
This is...
early-childhood reading for...
late night.

1342
01:06:01,753 --> 01:06:04,006
"Celestial Witchcraft
of Early England."

1343
01:06:04,173 --> 01:06:07,217
[tense music playing]

1344
01:06:07,384 --> 01:06:08,552
This right here

1345
01:06:08,719 --> 01:06:11,138
we think is Dennis Zao's
tongue, alright?

1346
01:06:11,305 --> 01:06:13,265
Unless he's cut out
other tongues.

1347
01:06:14,558 --> 01:06:18,437
This here's Victoria Macenroe,
we think it is because it's...

1348
01:06:18,604 --> 01:06:20,522
We watched her hair
get cut off.

1349
01:06:20,689 --> 01:06:22,649
And that is Saroj Mallick.

1350
01:06:22,816 --> 01:06:25,694
- [Taylor sighs]
- [tense music playing]

1351
01:06:25,861 --> 01:06:27,112
[Kirby]
He's been here recently.

1352
01:06:27,279 --> 01:06:28,488
[Taylor] Yeah.

1353
01:06:28,655 --> 01:06:29,823
[Taylor exhales]

1354
01:06:29,990 --> 01:06:32,159
Over here is what we think

1355
01:06:32,326 --> 01:06:33,660
is Sheridans' blood.

1356
01:06:36,705 --> 01:06:38,040
[officer]
What about this shit up here?

1357
01:06:39,541 --> 01:06:42,085
[Kirby] "Hail Azragor."

1358
01:06:44,379 --> 01:06:47,257
And then this weird...

1359
01:06:47,424 --> 01:06:48,383
altar.

1360
01:06:49,801 --> 01:06:51,720
Is this Azragor?

1361
01:06:51,887 --> 01:06:53,847
[producer]

1362
01:06:54,014 --> 01:06:55,516
[Jonas] Azragor? No.

1363
01:06:55,682 --> 01:06:58,101
[producer] How about Kaliban?

1364
01:06:58,268 --> 01:07:00,354
Like in Shakespeare?

1365
01:07:00,521 --> 01:07:02,606
The Thorn of Time
sounds familiar.

1366
01:07:02,773 --> 01:07:04,816
I've heard that.
Where have I heard that?

1367
01:07:04,983 --> 01:07:06,818
This is pre-cuneiform

1368
01:07:06,985 --> 01:07:10,155
so it's all very cryptic,
but here.

1369
01:07:10,322 --> 01:07:15,244
[reads in foreign language]

1370
01:07:16,828 --> 01:07:20,999
"The temple of the outer gate

1371
01:07:21,166 --> 01:07:24,837
beyond the thorn of time."

1372
01:07:25,003 --> 01:07:27,005
[in foreign language]
I've heard before.

1373
01:07:27,172 --> 01:07:29,216
That means...

1374
01:07:29,383 --> 01:07:30,759
Krönung.

1375
01:07:30,926 --> 01:07:32,261
Crowning...

1376
01:07:33,679 --> 01:07:34,847
Coronation.

1377
01:07:37,349 --> 01:07:39,226
[Kirby] Whereas before
we had little to no evidence

1378
01:07:39,393 --> 01:07:42,521
to go on,
we now had way too much.

1379
01:07:42,688 --> 01:07:44,481
Sykes had collected
tons of information

1380
01:07:44,648 --> 01:07:46,024
on each of his victims,
had them all

1381
01:07:46,191 --> 01:07:47,276
in a filing cabinet.

1382
01:07:47,442 --> 01:07:49,027
Criminal history,
medical records,

1383
01:07:49,194 --> 01:07:51,029
information the public
does not have access to,

1384
01:07:51,196 --> 01:07:52,573
so he must've been paying
off cops

1385
01:07:52,739 --> 01:07:54,366
or private investigators.

1386
01:07:54,533 --> 01:07:56,952
And every murder had been
meticulously documented.

1387
01:07:57,119 --> 01:07:58,662
There were photos, drawings,

1388
01:07:58,829 --> 01:08:00,372
hundreds of hand-written pages

1389
01:08:00,539 --> 01:08:02,833
by Sykes with his ramblings.

1390
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,544
A pure window
into a man's madness.

1391
01:08:05,711 --> 01:08:07,337
[Taylor]
We were pulling all-nighters

1392
01:08:07,504 --> 01:08:09,214
in that horrible space.

1393
01:08:09,381 --> 01:08:10,966
Even after
the bodies were removed,

1394
01:08:11,133 --> 01:08:12,718
the smell never went away.

1395
01:08:12,885 --> 01:08:14,386
We were going crazy.

1396
01:08:15,596 --> 01:08:18,390
On May 8th,
the manager of the place
comes looking for us.

1397
01:08:18,557 --> 01:08:21,518
Someone sent mail
to the office for us.

1398
01:08:21,685 --> 01:08:23,061
It was another letter.

1399
01:08:25,814 --> 01:08:27,107
[distorted male voice]

1400
01:08:41,121 --> 01:08:42,539
[dial tone]

1401
01:08:42,706 --> 01:08:44,833
[dispatcher]

1402
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,377
[woman]

1403
01:08:47,544 --> 01:08:48,754
[dispatcher]

1404
01:08:48,921 --> 01:08:50,881
[woman screams]

1405
01:08:51,048 --> 01:08:54,176
[indistinct loud noises]

1406
01:08:55,177 --> 01:08:56,762
[dial tone]

1407
01:08:56,929 --> 01:08:59,014
Around midnight on May 12th,

1408
01:08:59,181 --> 01:09:00,724
Sykes breaks into the home

1409
01:09:00,891 --> 01:09:04,269
of Glenn
and Stephanie Courtland
via a garage window

1410
01:09:04,436 --> 01:09:07,272
and abducts
their three-month-old baby,
Sawyer.

1411
01:09:09,149 --> 01:09:16,114
[tense music playing]

1412
01:09:24,790 --> 01:09:27,167
[baby crying]

1413
01:09:44,643 --> 01:09:46,061
[Taylor]
He could've killed that child

1414
01:09:46,228 --> 01:09:47,729
in his crib
right then and there,

1415
01:09:47,896 --> 01:09:50,232
but he was waiting.
I mean, he was deliberately

1416
01:09:50,399 --> 01:09:51,942
waiting for something.

1417
01:09:53,068 --> 01:09:54,194
But what?

1418
01:09:54,361 --> 01:09:55,571
[Kirby]
But we had no idea where Sykes

1419
01:09:55,737 --> 01:09:57,197
was going
or what his plan was,

1420
01:09:57,364 --> 01:09:58,824
but it didn't seem
like a coincidence

1421
01:09:58,991 --> 01:10:00,826
that the triangle in the sky

1422
01:10:00,993 --> 01:10:03,829
was supposed to appear
that morning.

1423
01:10:03,996 --> 01:10:06,039
That was a Friday, by the way.

1424
01:10:06,206 --> 01:10:07,499
The 13th.

1425
01:10:08,584 --> 01:10:09,877
Coincidence, right?

1426
01:10:12,129 --> 01:10:14,506
[man] I am just getting to work,
it's around 3:00 a.m.,

1427
01:10:15,966 --> 01:10:17,426
and... Let's see.

1428
01:10:17,593 --> 01:10:19,428
Okay, right here.

1429
01:10:19,595 --> 01:10:21,471
Right here, not 20 feet
from where I found

1430
01:10:21,638 --> 01:10:23,307
that woman's body,

1431
01:10:23,473 --> 01:10:25,893
I see this red SUV parked.

1432
01:10:26,059 --> 01:10:27,311
The vehicle is empty.

1433
01:10:27,477 --> 01:10:28,979
I just got a weird vibe.

1434
01:10:29,146 --> 01:10:30,397
So, I called it in.

1435
01:10:30,564 --> 01:10:32,649
I immediately got a reply

1436
01:10:32,816 --> 01:10:34,610
that the automobile
has been stolen,

1437
01:10:34,776 --> 01:10:38,697
and that the driver
is armed and dangerous.

1438
01:10:38,864 --> 01:10:40,032
Now, I...

1439
01:10:40,199 --> 01:10:42,284
I watched the news closely

1440
01:10:42,451 --> 01:10:43,994
and I was like,
"Is this Mr. Shiny?"

1441
01:10:44,161 --> 01:10:46,496
They found Sykes' SUV

1442
01:10:46,663 --> 01:10:48,373
right in the spot
of the very first murder

1443
01:10:48,540 --> 01:10:49,875
in '93.

1444
01:10:50,250 --> 01:10:52,419
He ran out of gas right there,

1445
01:10:52,586 --> 01:10:54,004
of all places.

1446
01:10:54,171 --> 01:10:55,214
What are the odds?

1447
01:10:57,090 --> 01:10:59,134
[Taylor]
This three-planet alignment

1448
01:10:59,301 --> 01:11:03,180
was going to be visible
between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m.

1449
01:11:03,347 --> 01:11:05,098
I mean, that gave us
just a matter of hours

1450
01:11:05,265 --> 01:11:07,017
to find Sykes and baby Sawyer.

1451
01:11:07,184 --> 01:11:10,270
But one way or another,
this thing was going to end.

1452
01:11:10,437 --> 01:11:14,733
[tense music playing]

1453
01:11:14,900 --> 01:11:17,736
[insect chirping]

1454
01:11:20,072 --> 01:11:22,157
[woman 1]
But [inaudible], that...

1455
01:11:22,324 --> 01:11:25,911
That's a pretty
believable thing
that he died. I don't know.

1456
01:11:26,078 --> 01:11:27,621
- I...
- I don't know.

1457
01:11:27,788 --> 01:11:28,914
- [woman 1]
I believe that's the case.
- Do you want

1458
01:11:29,081 --> 01:11:31,792
- a marshmallow?
- [woman 2] Ready. Yeah.

1459
01:11:31,959 --> 01:11:32,835
Made the s'mores.

1460
01:11:33,001 --> 01:11:34,378
- [woman screams]
- Oh!

1461
01:11:34,545 --> 01:11:35,879
I was going to do it.

1462
01:11:36,046 --> 01:11:37,464
- [woman laughing]
- Mm.

1463
01:11:37,631 --> 01:11:39,007
This is disgusting,
I'm so sorry.

1464
01:11:39,174 --> 01:11:40,551
[woman laughing]

1465
01:11:40,717 --> 01:11:42,261
[woman] We all went
to UC Riverside together,

1466
01:11:42,427 --> 01:11:45,138
but I was moving out of state
for my Master's degree,

1467
01:11:45,305 --> 01:11:47,975
so it was sort of a last hurrah

1468
01:11:48,141 --> 01:11:49,309
with the girls.

1469
01:11:49,476 --> 01:11:51,353
We didn't even know that thing

1470
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:53,730
with the planets
was even happening.

1471
01:11:53,897 --> 01:11:55,983
[woman 1] I think we're
just getting old, dude.

1472
01:11:57,317 --> 01:11:59,695
- Old asses for life.
- [woman 1 laughs]

1473
01:11:59,862 --> 01:12:01,530
- [twig breaks]
- [police sirens]

1474
01:12:01,697 --> 01:12:02,865
[Elizabeth] Do you hear that?

1475
01:12:03,031 --> 01:12:09,872
[police sirens]

1476
01:12:10,038 --> 01:12:11,874
[Kirby] We had units
coming in from Arrowhead,

1477
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:13,542
Crestline, even Big Bear,

1478
01:12:13,709 --> 01:12:15,210
but they were spread out
all over the place.

1479
01:12:15,377 --> 01:12:17,087
If Sykes was on foot,
he could only get so far,

1480
01:12:17,254 --> 01:12:19,548
but we still needed
a lot of manpower.

1481
01:12:19,715 --> 01:12:21,049
Best we could do
in that first hour

1482
01:12:21,216 --> 01:12:22,426
was two cars.

1483
01:12:22,843 --> 01:12:23,886
Two.

1484
01:12:25,137 --> 01:12:27,097
That park is
almost a million acres.

1485
01:12:30,475 --> 01:12:32,436
[man] When we were
on the way out there,

1486
01:12:32,603 --> 01:12:34,229
you know,
I was actually excited.

1487
01:12:34,688 --> 01:12:35,814
[producer]

1488
01:12:35,981 --> 01:12:38,358
'Cause Sykes was
the boogeyman of Berdoo.

1489
01:12:38,525 --> 01:12:40,777
I mean,
even the FBI was after him.

1490
01:12:40,944 --> 01:12:42,321
If we were
the arresting officers...

1491
01:12:42,487 --> 01:12:43,530
[chuckles]

1492
01:12:43,697 --> 01:12:44,948
That would be huge.

1493
01:12:47,618 --> 01:12:49,119
So fucking stupid.

1494
01:12:51,205 --> 01:12:52,998
[Taylor] They started going
from campsite to campsite

1495
01:12:53,165 --> 01:12:54,041
in a grid.

1496
01:12:54,208 --> 01:12:55,292
Every tent, RV,

1497
01:12:55,459 --> 01:12:56,668
Porta-Potty out there,

1498
01:12:56,835 --> 01:12:58,378
they were shining
a light into it.

1499
01:13:00,422 --> 01:13:02,799
- [officer] Who's
in there with you?
- It's just my daughter.

1500
01:13:04,176 --> 01:13:05,511
[Pearce] Nobody was
being cooperative

1501
01:13:05,677 --> 01:13:07,095
or wanting to talk to us,

1502
01:13:07,262 --> 01:13:08,680
but, I mean, who would be?

1503
01:13:08,847 --> 01:13:10,390
- [officer] Anybody else
here with you?
- [woman] No.

1504
01:13:10,557 --> 01:13:11,808
Imagine you're asleep
in your tent

1505
01:13:11,975 --> 01:13:13,519
and a cop shines a light
in your face.

1506
01:13:13,685 --> 01:13:15,479
Like, I'd be pissed too.

1507
01:13:16,188 --> 01:13:17,898
[officer] You see anything
suspicious tonight?

1508
01:13:18,065 --> 01:13:19,191
You see a man with a baby?

1509
01:13:20,317 --> 01:13:21,401
[man] A baby?

1510
01:13:21,568 --> 01:13:23,403
[Taylor] It was a clusterfuck.

1511
01:13:23,570 --> 01:13:26,740
Heavy brush, too dark,
lots of places to hide.

1512
01:13:26,907 --> 01:13:29,243
Even now, GPS maps
in that kind of area

1513
01:13:29,409 --> 01:13:31,161
just aren't that reliable.

1514
01:13:31,328 --> 01:13:32,663
Neither are cell phones.

1515
01:13:32,829 --> 01:13:35,707
But luckily, some places
still had landlines.

1516
01:13:35,874 --> 01:13:37,876
[dial tone]

1517
01:13:38,043 --> 01:13:40,254
[dispatcher]

1518
01:13:40,420 --> 01:13:42,798
[crying]

1519
01:13:49,972 --> 01:13:51,431
There's a property out there
where you can rent

1520
01:13:51,598 --> 01:13:54,351
these individual cabins
for the night.

1521
01:13:54,518 --> 01:13:56,895
Sykes forces his way
inside one of these cabins

1522
01:13:57,062 --> 01:13:59,189
where Martin and Silvia Vallejo
are staying.

1523
01:13:59,356 --> 01:14:01,483
It's about
four o'clock in the morning
at this point.

1524
01:14:01,650 --> 01:14:03,652
He's able to subdue Martin,

1525
01:14:03,819 --> 01:14:05,112
but Silvia gets away

1526
01:14:05,279 --> 01:14:08,073
and calls 911
at the cabin next door.

1527
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:11,743
[police sirens]

1528
01:14:11,910 --> 01:14:14,621
[tense music playing]

1529
01:14:14,788 --> 01:14:16,582
- [officer] Did you make
the call, ma'am?
- [crying] Yes!

1530
01:14:16,748 --> 01:14:18,792
He's in there
with my husband!

1531
01:14:18,959 --> 01:14:21,545
- [officer] Where's the cabin?
- Third cabin on the right!
Please help him!

1532
01:14:21,712 --> 01:14:23,213
- [officer] Stay here.
- He has a child!

1533
01:14:23,380 --> 01:14:25,257
- There's a baby with him!
- [officer] Stay here.

1534
01:14:25,424 --> 01:14:28,927
[Taylor] The two closest units
arrived at the cabin
around 4:50 a.m.

1535
01:14:29,094 --> 01:14:31,346
Backup was on the way,
but ended up getting lost

1536
01:14:31,513 --> 01:14:33,473
and wouldn't get there
for over an hour.

1537
01:14:34,391 --> 01:14:35,726
These guys had no idea

1538
01:14:35,893 --> 01:14:38,228
what they might be
walking into.

1539
01:14:38,395 --> 01:14:40,189
[police sirens]

1540
01:14:40,355 --> 01:14:43,275
[tense music playing]

1541
01:14:52,868 --> 01:14:54,828
[officer 1] Check out
the front door.

1542
01:14:54,995 --> 01:14:59,166
[tense music playing]

1543
01:15:02,252 --> 01:15:03,253
[Pearce] Clear.

1544
01:15:03,420 --> 01:15:04,546
[officer 1 indistinct]

1545
01:15:07,007 --> 01:15:08,217
[indistinct]

1546
01:15:11,011 --> 01:15:11,970
[Pearce] Alright, it's clear.

1547
01:15:12,137 --> 01:15:13,722
[officer 1] Stand by.

1548
01:15:13,889 --> 01:15:16,099
[Kirby] The place was
deserted, alright?

1549
01:15:16,266 --> 01:15:17,851
Extremely bad vibes.

1550
01:15:19,561 --> 01:15:20,896
[Pearce] Are you seeing this?

1551
01:15:23,148 --> 01:15:24,233
I think that's...

1552
01:15:24,399 --> 01:15:25,984
that's when I started
to get scared.

1553
01:15:28,946 --> 01:15:30,280
Then we found Mr. Vallejo.

1554
01:15:31,740 --> 01:15:32,950
[officer 1]
Looks like a bedroom.

1555
01:15:36,453 --> 01:15:38,622
- We got a suspect.
- [officer 2] We got a suspect!

1556
01:15:38,789 --> 01:15:40,332
[officer 1]
Let me see your hands!

1557
01:15:40,499 --> 01:15:41,792
[Pearce] Hands! Hands!

1558
01:15:43,585 --> 01:15:44,753
[officer 1] Give it up.

1559
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:46,964
It looks like he's duct-taped.
His hands.

1560
01:15:48,257 --> 01:15:49,633
[Pearce] What the fuck?

1561
01:15:51,385 --> 01:15:53,428
- I got him. I got him.
- [officer 1] Get the mask.

1562
01:15:54,096 --> 01:15:56,932
- [Pearce] Oh my God.
Get medical out here!
- [officer 1] He's injured.

1563
01:15:58,433 --> 01:16:01,353
[Taylor] Sykes essentially
lobotomizes the man...

1564
01:16:02,396 --> 01:16:04,273
leaves the body
to be found like that.

1565
01:16:09,695 --> 01:16:11,113
[Pearce] It was just bad,
bro, I...

1566
01:16:13,282 --> 01:16:14,867
I don't know what else to say.

1567
01:16:15,033 --> 01:16:17,160
An empty glass is found
on the kitchen counter

1568
01:16:17,327 --> 01:16:19,079
with remnants of milk
from the fridge,

1569
01:16:19,246 --> 01:16:22,249
and Sawyer's dirty diapers'
thrown in the garbage.

1570
01:16:22,416 --> 01:16:24,918
Even then, he was still
taking care of the baby.

1571
01:16:26,587 --> 01:16:29,965
After this pit stop,
he leaves into the woods.

1572
01:16:30,132 --> 01:16:35,053
[tense music playing]

1573
01:16:35,220 --> 01:16:37,139
[officer] Closer ETA
on RO unit, over.

1574
01:16:37,306 --> 01:16:39,558
- [gunshot]
- What the hell was that?

1575
01:16:39,725 --> 01:16:41,310
[man screams]

1576
01:16:41,476 --> 01:16:44,855
- [baby cries]
- [officer 2] We should go
check it out.

1577
01:16:45,022 --> 01:16:46,148
[Pearce] Shouldn't we wait
for backup?

1578
01:16:46,315 --> 01:16:47,858
[officer 2] But, dude,
he's got a baby.

1579
01:16:48,025 --> 01:16:49,860
[Pearce]
I didn't even want to go,
you know?

1580
01:16:50,027 --> 01:16:53,071
But it was a baby, right?
Like, what would you do?

1581
01:16:53,238 --> 01:16:54,656
Imagine that's your kid.

1582
01:16:57,409 --> 01:16:59,161
But I should've said no.

1583
01:16:59,328 --> 01:17:01,038
I should've waited at the car.

1584
01:17:02,164 --> 01:17:03,582
[exhales]

1585
01:17:03,749 --> 01:17:05,375
If that makes me a coward,

1586
01:17:05,542 --> 01:17:07,002
I don't give a shit.

1587
01:17:07,169 --> 01:17:13,217
[tense music playing]

1588
01:17:33,654 --> 01:17:34,696
[Pearce] Oh, shit.

1589
01:17:36,406 --> 01:17:37,824
You heard that?

1590
01:17:37,991 --> 01:17:42,037
[baby cries]

1591
01:17:42,204 --> 01:17:44,248
He was doing witchcraft
out there, man.

1592
01:17:45,916 --> 01:17:48,001
You saw the video.

1593
01:17:48,168 --> 01:17:49,628
What else would you call it?

1594
01:17:53,006 --> 01:17:54,591
Yo, what the fuck is this, man?

1595
01:17:55,717 --> 01:17:57,135
[gunshot]

1596
01:17:57,302 --> 01:17:59,429
- [tense music playing]
- [officer shouts indistinctly]

1597
01:18:00,389 --> 01:18:01,598
[gunshot]

1598
01:18:05,310 --> 01:18:06,812
[Pearce] Where the fuck's
the shooter?

1599
01:18:06,979 --> 01:18:09,064
- [baby cries]
- [gunshot]

1600
01:18:15,362 --> 01:18:16,947
- [twig snaps]
- [Pearce gasps]

1601
01:18:19,700 --> 01:18:21,577
[Pearce screams in pain]

1602
01:18:21,743 --> 01:18:23,537
Fuck!

1603
01:18:23,704 --> 01:18:29,209
[screams]

1604
01:18:29,376 --> 01:18:30,377
Fuck!

1605
01:18:30,544 --> 01:18:31,712
[screams]

1606
01:18:32,963 --> 01:18:34,256
Shit!

1607
01:18:34,423 --> 01:18:35,424
Fuck!

1608
01:18:38,927 --> 01:18:43,182
[groaning]

1609
01:18:55,068 --> 01:18:57,529
[baby cries]

1610
01:19:06,955 --> 01:19:08,832
[Pearce] I didn't understand
at the time

1611
01:19:08,999 --> 01:19:11,668
what exactly that wood thing
was, but...

1612
01:19:12,085 --> 01:19:15,088
You know, I found out
they have a name for it.

1613
01:19:15,255 --> 01:19:16,298
A pyre.

1614
01:19:18,133 --> 01:19:19,927
That's where the...
the crying was coming from.

1615
01:19:20,969 --> 01:19:23,305
[baby cries]

1616
01:19:24,348 --> 01:19:25,349
Sykes...

1617
01:19:27,059 --> 01:19:30,062
[distorted audio]

1618
01:19:30,229 --> 01:19:31,104
Oh, shit.

1619
01:19:31,271 --> 01:19:34,358
[loud rumbling]

1620
01:19:34,525 --> 01:19:37,402
What is that?
What the fuck?

1621
01:19:37,569 --> 01:19:42,950
[tense music playing]

1622
01:19:43,116 --> 01:19:47,162
I don't know what we saw
or didn't see.

1623
01:19:48,372 --> 01:19:49,998
It was strange.

1624
01:19:50,165 --> 01:19:53,043
If you looked at it
from one angle,
you could see it.

1625
01:19:53,210 --> 01:19:55,420
From another,
it wasn't as clear.

1626
01:19:55,587 --> 01:19:57,381
The videos don't do it
justice at all.

1627
01:19:57,548 --> 01:19:59,925
I'm just still
not convinced any of that...

1628
01:20:00,092 --> 01:20:02,010
what do you call it?
Karmic phenomena?

1629
01:20:02,177 --> 01:20:04,930
- [producer]
- Cosmic phenomena.

1630
01:20:05,097 --> 01:20:07,683
I mean, sky looked weird
that morning,
no doubt about that,

1631
01:20:07,850 --> 01:20:10,686
but there's plenty
of weird stuff
that happens in the sky.

1632
01:20:10,853 --> 01:20:13,480
Aurora borealis?

1633
01:20:13,647 --> 01:20:15,607
[producer]

1634
01:20:16,108 --> 01:20:17,526
Okay, but you can't tell me

1635
01:20:17,693 --> 01:20:20,362
that's not some weird looking
space stuff too, right?

1636
01:20:20,529 --> 01:20:22,865
[Pearce]
I don't remember much.

1637
01:20:23,031 --> 01:20:25,993
It gets hazy.
So, that-that thing in the sky?

1638
01:20:27,995 --> 01:20:29,538
It looked like red eyes.

1639
01:20:30,622 --> 01:20:32,749
[woman 1] Jeez, dude.

1640
01:20:32,916 --> 01:20:34,543
Holy shit.

1641
01:20:34,710 --> 01:20:36,587
What the fuck?

1642
01:20:40,465 --> 01:20:42,551
[woman 1]
What the fuck is that?

1643
01:20:42,718 --> 01:20:44,011
[Elizabeth] I don't know, dude.

1644
01:20:45,721 --> 01:20:47,806
[woman 1] Lizzie?

1645
01:20:47,973 --> 01:20:48,932
Lizzie?

1646
01:20:50,601 --> 01:20:51,602
Lizzie!

1647
01:20:53,478 --> 01:20:54,771
Liz!

1648
01:20:54,938 --> 01:20:55,772
Dude, Lizzie!

1649
01:20:55,939 --> 01:20:58,192
Lizzie! Lizzie! Lizzie!

1650
01:20:59,401 --> 01:21:01,528
Lizzie! Kate! Kate, wake up!

1651
01:21:01,695 --> 01:21:03,989
I need you to call 911!
Kate, please!

1652
01:21:04,156 --> 01:21:10,495
[tense music playing]

1653
01:21:16,376 --> 01:21:21,632
[Pearce shouts indistinctly]

1654
01:21:21,798 --> 01:21:22,841
[gunshot]

1655
01:21:23,008 --> 01:21:24,760
[police sirens]

1656
01:21:24,927 --> 01:21:26,887
[baby crying]

1657
01:21:27,054 --> 01:21:30,224
[Pearce groans] Help! Help!

1658
01:21:30,390 --> 01:21:32,976
[Kirby] And just like that,
it was over.

1659
01:21:37,147 --> 01:21:38,273
We got him.

1660
01:21:40,484 --> 01:21:41,610
[baby crying]

1661
01:21:41,777 --> 01:21:43,695
Helps on the way.
Just stay there.

1662
01:21:43,862 --> 01:21:45,447
You'll be alright.
How's the baby?

1663
01:21:45,614 --> 01:21:47,074
He's okay.

1664
01:21:47,241 --> 01:21:48,659
[Kirby] That was
too goddamn close.

1665
01:21:48,825 --> 01:21:50,118
- [Pearce hyperventilates]
- That was too damn close.

1666
01:21:50,285 --> 01:21:52,120
- [Taylor] He's gone!
- [Kirby] What?

1667
01:21:52,287 --> 01:21:53,622
[Taylor] We need
some help over here!

1668
01:21:53,789 --> 01:21:55,415
[Kirby] You've got to be
fucking kidding me!

1669
01:21:55,582 --> 01:21:59,837
[tense music playing]

1670
01:22:00,003 --> 01:22:01,547
Leslie Sykes' body was found

1671
01:22:01,713 --> 01:22:04,007
about 100 yards
from the cabin, in a creek...

1672
01:22:06,802 --> 01:22:08,262
covered in leeches.

1673
01:22:08,428 --> 01:22:11,181
He'd only been in the water
for a matter of minutes.

1674
01:22:11,348 --> 01:22:13,225
It's like they were
drawn to him.

1675
01:22:13,392 --> 01:22:15,853
They made any kind of visual
identification impossible,

1676
01:22:16,019 --> 01:22:19,147
but we still confirmed it
with fingerprint and DNA.

1677
01:22:21,525 --> 01:22:23,318
It looks like Sykes
had been living out there

1678
01:22:23,485 --> 01:22:25,279
for at least a couple weeks.

1679
01:22:25,445 --> 01:22:27,155
Sleeping
in a makeshift shelter,

1680
01:22:27,322 --> 01:22:29,783
stealing food
from other people's campsites.

1681
01:22:30,742 --> 01:22:34,246
His final time on this earth
was spent hungry,

1682
01:22:34,413 --> 01:22:36,999
cold, and alone.

1683
01:22:37,165 --> 01:22:40,252
[Taylor] No phantoms,
no ghost.

1684
01:22:40,419 --> 01:22:42,004
A flesh-and-blood human.

1685
01:22:43,005 --> 01:22:45,007
Piece of shit human,

1686
01:22:45,174 --> 01:22:46,383
but human nonetheless.

1687
01:22:49,136 --> 01:22:55,517
[dramatic music playing]

1688
01:23:04,985 --> 01:23:06,361
[Monica] So, I was...

1689
01:23:06,528 --> 01:23:08,113
I was getting up
for work that morning

1690
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:09,990
and I was checking my Facebook,

1691
01:23:10,157 --> 01:23:11,867
and I had, like,

1692
01:23:12,034 --> 01:23:13,952
all of these messages,
and I was like, what?

1693
01:23:14,119 --> 01:23:15,621
You know, what's going on here?

1694
01:23:16,038 --> 01:23:17,664
And then I realized
they got him.

1695
01:23:21,084 --> 01:23:23,337
Like, they really
fucking got him.

1696
01:23:23,504 --> 01:23:26,673
[police sirens]

1697
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,301
[reporter] The Inland Empire
can breathe a sigh of relief

1698
01:23:29,468 --> 01:23:31,011
with the news just coming in

1699
01:23:31,178 --> 01:23:32,679
that the hunt
for serial killer

1700
01:23:32,846 --> 01:23:35,974
Leslie Sykes,
a.k.a. Mr. Shiny,

1701
01:23:36,141 --> 01:23:38,393
has finally come to an end.

1702
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:41,188
Police shot and killed Sykes
this morning in a standoff

1703
01:23:41,355 --> 01:23:43,106
in the San Bernardino
mountains,

1704
01:23:43,273 --> 01:23:44,525
but not before ending the life

1705
01:23:44,691 --> 01:23:47,444
of one Riverside Police
Department deputy.

1706
01:23:49,988 --> 01:23:51,156
[Pearce] Richie...

1707
01:23:51,823 --> 01:23:52,908
um...

1708
01:23:54,326 --> 01:23:55,786
I don't want to talk about it.

1709
01:23:59,581 --> 01:24:00,791
Should've been me.

1710
01:24:02,543 --> 01:24:05,420
[man] I'm here to formally
announce that Leslie Sykes,

1711
01:24:06,255 --> 01:24:08,757
otherwise known as Mr. Shiny,

1712
01:24:08,924 --> 01:24:11,009
died this morning
at approximately 6:00 a.m.

1713
01:24:11,176 --> 01:24:12,845
Pacific standard time.

1714
01:24:13,011 --> 01:24:14,555
As a result of an extended
gun battle

1715
01:24:14,721 --> 01:24:16,265
with local authorities.

1716
01:24:17,766 --> 01:24:19,142
[Monica]
I couldn't believe it.

1717
01:24:20,310 --> 01:24:21,645
Like, all of this...

1718
01:24:22,145 --> 01:24:24,231
This, like, weight was

1719
01:24:24,398 --> 01:24:26,984
just lifted from my chest,
you know?

1720
01:24:29,820 --> 01:24:32,364
Like Shifra could finally
rest in peace, you know,

1721
01:24:32,531 --> 01:24:34,658
'cause that fucking asshole
was dead.

1722
01:24:35,284 --> 01:24:38,370
I mean, nothing's ever going
to bring my girl back,
but, um...

1723
01:24:39,329 --> 01:24:41,665
at least we can all,
like, start to heal now.

1724
01:24:43,458 --> 01:24:45,544
I feel no joy
in Leslie Sykes' death.

1725
01:24:45,711 --> 01:24:47,087
I really don't.

1726
01:24:47,254 --> 01:24:49,423
I did in the beginning but,
as time has gone on...

1727
01:24:51,508 --> 01:24:53,385
I wish I could've
interviewed him.

1728
01:24:53,552 --> 01:24:55,762
I wish we could've gotten
more information.

1729
01:24:56,346 --> 01:24:58,682
In the time span that Sykes
was actively killing,

1730
01:24:58,849 --> 01:25:01,393
that we know about, there were
over 100 unsolved homicides

1731
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:02,853
in the two counties.

1732
01:25:03,020 --> 01:25:04,354
Could some of these be Sykes?

1733
01:25:04,521 --> 01:25:05,898
We'll never know.

1734
01:25:06,064 --> 01:25:07,649
Is it possible
Sykes had an accomplice,

1735
01:25:07,816 --> 01:25:10,402
someone that helped him,
funded him?

1736
01:25:10,569 --> 01:25:11,820
We'll never know.

1737
01:25:13,739 --> 01:25:16,617
[Pearce] He got off too easy,
if you ask me.

1738
01:25:16,783 --> 01:25:18,577
Should've drawn and quartered
that motherfucker.

1739
01:25:20,287 --> 01:25:21,955
Sorry, is...
Was that too much or...?

1740
01:25:22,122 --> 01:25:24,082
[producer] No,
that's actually perfect.

1741
01:25:27,461 --> 01:25:29,129
Happy I could set
the record straight.

1742
01:25:33,342 --> 01:25:35,886
[April] When we first found out
that they killed him...

1743
01:25:37,763 --> 01:25:40,224
I guess it was bittersweet.

1744
01:25:44,394 --> 01:25:46,855
I was just glad
he couldn't hurt anybody else.

1745
01:25:47,314 --> 01:25:49,274
[April] We try to keep
Victoria's memory alive,

1746
01:25:49,441 --> 01:25:52,027
but it gets harder
as time goes on.

1747
01:25:54,321 --> 01:25:55,989
Friends lose interest.

1748
01:25:58,909 --> 01:26:00,869
I think about that saying a lot

1749
01:26:01,036 --> 01:26:02,579
that goes

1750
01:26:02,746 --> 01:26:05,749
"you really die the last time
someone says your name."

1751
01:26:05,916 --> 01:26:07,292
[Jim] Honey,
you already said this.

1752
01:26:07,459 --> 01:26:08,836
I know.

1753
01:26:09,002 --> 01:26:10,879
It's just so true.

These guys will live forever.

1756
01:26:17,010 --> 01:26:20,973
And now so will Mr. Shiny.

1757
01:26:21,139 --> 01:26:22,891
[reporter] Eight victims
were honored today

1758
01:26:23,058 --> 01:26:26,186
at a memorial held
at Pioneer Memorial Cemetery,

1759
01:26:26,353 --> 01:26:28,272
including those
from the original crimes

1760
01:26:28,438 --> 01:26:29,815
in 1995.

1761
01:26:29,982 --> 01:26:31,942
Almost 1,000 people
joined the service

1762
01:26:32,109 --> 01:26:33,610
to pay their respects
to those lives

01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:37,573

Started for the first time
that night.

1772
01:26:55,174 --> 01:26:58,427
And I wasn't the only one
who had bad luck, either.

1773
01:26:58,594 --> 01:27:02,306
Gail randomly started
having vertigo

1774
01:27:02,472 --> 01:27:03,807
after that trip.

1775
01:27:09,062 --> 01:27:11,773
So, you know,
you asked me if I believe

1776
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:15,444
in ghosts
and this paranormal stuff,

1777
01:27:15,611 --> 01:27:16,737
and I don't. But...

1778
01:27:19,323 --> 01:27:21,158
No, I don't believe
in that stuff,

1779
01:27:21,617 --> 01:27:24,203
but I still wish we never
went camping that weekend.

1780
01:27:25,495 --> 01:27:26,830
[Kacie] We moved to Portland.

1781
01:27:27,748 --> 01:27:29,333
I know it sounds superstitious,

1782
01:27:29,499 --> 01:27:32,294

that whole county was cursed.

What do you want me to say?

1787
01:27:47,893 --> 01:27:50,229
He was part
of some apocalypse cult

1788
01:27:50,395 --> 01:27:53,941
trying to summon a
six-million-year-old leech god?

1789
01:27:54,107 --> 01:27:56,193
Thorn of Time, Kaliban?

1790
01:27:57,861 --> 01:28:00,656
That's not something you put
in a police report, pal.

1791
01:28:00,822 --> 01:28:02,282
That's not going to help
the families

1792

try and bring closure
and heal from this mess.

1793
01:28:07,496 --> 01:28:10,040
What I can say
for sure is this...

1794
01:28:10,207 --> 01:28:12,084
Leslie Sykes was a monster.

1795
01:28:13,126 --> 01:28:15,337
We caught him
and we killed him.

[Taylor] It's postdated
two days before he died.

If he sent it, he must've had
an inkling things

01:28:37,484 --> 01:28:38,902
might not go to plan.

I guess we'll find out
in another 800 years.

[Kirby] There's still
so many things

1811
01:29:15,647 --> 01:29:17,232
we don't understand
about this case,

1812
01:29:17,399 --> 01:29:19,151
and probably never will.

1813
01:29:21,069 --> 01:29:22,779
We just had bits and pieces

1814
01:29:22,946 --> 01:29:25,949
of some kind
of strange puzzle.

1815
01:29:26,116 --> 01:29:29,494
And even if we could put them
all together,

I don't know if I want to see

Yeah?
Got what you need?

that's more than enough.
